This is a Robusta coffee (Coffea canephora) from India, grown in the southern states of Karnataka and Kerala between 900-1200 meters above sea level. The coffee is hand-picked and washed processed, with AA classification indicating the highest quality screen size of 18mm. It is drum-roasted to a medium-dark level. The coffee offers full-bodied characteristics with earthy and chocolate flavor notes, accompanied by strong crema especially when brewed as espresso. It has low acidity and a creamy body, making it ideal for milk-based espresso drinks. Robusta naturally contains up to three times more caffeine than comparable Arabica varieties.
Beanatic Coffee Roasters is a specialty roastery near Zurich, born from more than 20 years of experience in IT and a growing obsession with coffee. The name fuses "bean" and "fanatic," and the team embraces that identity fully. They roast on two induction drum roasters, working exclusively with specialty grade green coffee and refining each batch with care. The roastery is driven by an ongoing pursuit of new coffees, new technologies, and new approaches to the craft. For Beanatic, quality has to be present from the raw bean onward. The result is a focused operation that treats roasting as both science and sensory art.
