Our bold dark roast is back!

Sourced from Krishnagiri estate ,high up in the Chandra drona hills(a.k.a the Giris) of Chikmagalur, this lot of washed arabica fascinated us with its bean density and versatility(traits we have come to associate with the coffee from Krishnagiri estate).

Ripe cherries of the Chandrigiri varietal have been selected for this lot and the estate has tweaked their standard washed process to eke more out of the coffee.

Just like last year, we decided to a more developed roast apart from the medium roast; taking the beans close to second crack but stopping short of that that point. This makes the coffee stand up to milk better but retains some origin character.

The boldness of this coffee reminds us of the rāga tōdi and is our go to for milk based drinks.

Tōdi the coffee is a delight on the espresso machine(10 days post date of roast ) moka pot , south-indian filter and immersion brewers like French press and Aeropress.

Nice taste. But Not a dark roast in my opinion

I liked Todi. Nice flavour. But I do not think it is a dark roast. At least what I received was not. Medium dark at best. That does not make it bad. Not at all. But, it should not be confused with a bold dark roast. Still, it is good for drinking it black, or at best with a dash of milk using a moka pot or something equivalent.

Kāpikottai is the best Upgrade in Coffee I've had in recent times.

Tōdi is my favourite coffee from Kāpikottai.
Before I found Kāpikottai, my favourite used to be Columbian roast or Tanzanian roast. I used to try Indian coffee roasts once in a while, but somehow was never impressed and went back to my old choices. I can honestly say now that I haven't been able to go back to my old coffees after tasting Kāpi kottai. Tōdi has especially been a HUGE Upgrade to my coffee standards.
Kāpi kottai also delivers exactly what you ask for in the grind specifications for the coffee equipment we use. Most Indian brands dont do that. So while I want to brew south Indian filter coffee, I cannot really enjoy it with Non-Indian brands.
But not all Indian brands would have the patience to customize for you. I think that's the beauty of getting coffee from a small business who sticks to their standards.

Thankyou! 🙏
