India Tiger Stripes is a coffee from Hassan, Karnataka, India, grown at 1500 meters altitude. This is a mixed varietal coffee containing S795, Sln6, Sln9, and Cauvery varietals, many of which have a Kent heritage. The coffee is washed processed with no fermentation to remove the mucilage - the cherry is picked, pulped and sorted straight away, then dried on patios under the sun. This processing method yields low acidity and a well-rounded flavor. The coffee features clove bitterness and subtle sweet hints of cocoa, with a bold flavor profile. Processed and sourced by Allanasons Limited, a company with over 145 years of experience sourcing coffee from Indian estates.
