India Harley Estate: Yellow Honey

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 yellow honey (pulped, then sun-dried with part of its fruit mucilage still on the bean) blends Selection 9 and Chandragiri, two Indian-bred varietals you will rarely find on a UK green-coffee shelf. The gentler half of our Indian pair.

An independent UK cupping panel scored it 85.56 with: sweet orange, caramel, chamomile and milk chocolate. 

Roaster's note: honey-process handling, even heat, don't scorch the mucilage sugars; superb as both filter and espresso.

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