Chikmagalur

About This Coffee

Chikmagalur is a washed coffee from the district of Chikmagalur in southwestern India, cultivated at 850-1,300 meters altitude on the Hospura and Ginimao estates. The coffee is grown under shade as part of the KaadKaapi initiative, which means "forest coffee" in Kannada, promoting biodiversity conservation in the Western Ghats UNESCO World Heritage region. The S-795 variety is used, known for its balance and complexity. The estates use organic fertilization, biodigesters for water treatment, and limit chemical usage while protecting natural wildlife corridors. The coffee offers a chocolatey and spiced profile with tasting notes of dark chocolate, toasted hazelnut, caramel, grape, and subtle pepper. It has a medium body, balanced acidity, and smooth, clean texture. The coffee features an omni roast suitable for both espresso and filter preparation.
