India Harley Estate: Fusion Ferment Natural

Harley Estate, in the Manjarabad hills of Karnataka, has been farmed by the same family since 1864 and grows its arabica under a native forest canopy in the Western Ghats. This lot is the experimental half of our Indian pair: whole Selection 9 cherries inoculated with two selected microbial cultures, fermented under watchful, controlled conditions, then dried as a natural - with no fruit, flavourings or anything else added.

An independent UK cupping panel scored it 87.0 with: apricot, bergamot, black tea, mandarin, orange wine and raspberry. From the same 160-year-old shade-grown estate as our Yellow Honey. One estate, two philosophies - roast them side by side.

Roaster's note: natural handling, gentle heat early roast, guard the fruit esters through first crack; exceptional as a fruit-forward filter, adventurous as espresso.

Green coffee for home and small-batch roasting. Sealed to order in multiples of 200g and 1kg.
