This natural process Arabica coffee originates from Harangal Estate in Coorg, India, at 1,150-1,280 meters elevation. Produced by Petu Kariappa, the coffee features the Chandragiri variety. Medium roasted, it displays prominent tasting notes of malted milk, poached pear, with dense and savory characteristics. The coffee offers a textural experience with toasty, creamy, and slightly nutty qualities, excelling in espresso and immersion brewing methods.
