This two-pack (100 gms each) brings together distinct coffees from Nelaji Village in Coorg. Grown by smallholder farmers and processed by Ashish Rao, a first-generation producer, these lots mark our first collaboration with Skia Coffee. 

Ripe, high-density cherries were pulped with the mucilage left intact, then placed in sealed tanks for a 72-hour anaerobic fermentation. A yeast strain purpose-built for controlled fermentation was introduced during this stage to develop complexity. 

From there, the two lots took separate paths. 

Honey Sun Dried  

The first lot was dried slowly on raised beds under controlled shade. Roasted to a medium profile, it makes for a balanced cup with notes of sweet lime, prunes, and almond. 

Recommended Resting Period: 16 Days

Thermal Shock  

This second lot was immersed in hot water, then rapidly cooled in ice. It was then mechanically washed and dried slowly under shade. Also roasted to a medium profile, it brews cups with notes of tangerine, brown sugar, and berries.  

Both coffees brew beautifully as an espresso or with an AeroPress, Moka Pot, or French Press. They taste great black and pair well with milk. Together, they offer a chance to explore how thoughtful shifts in processing shape flavour in the final cup.  

Recommended Resting Period: 12 Days
