Arabica Cherry A (Unwashed)

Sensory Profile

• Aroma: Earthy and sweet, with pronounced notes of dried berries and spice.

• Acidity: Mild and winey; a mellow acidity that provides a gentle brightness without the sharp "snap" of washed coffee.

• Body: Full and heavy; the natural processing lends a creamy, substantial mouthfeel.

• Tasting Notes: A complex, rustic profile featuring deep notes of cocoa, dark stone fruits (like plum or cherry), and a lingering spicy finish. It is exceptionally well-suited for traditional espresso blends.
  
  

The Craftsmanship

• Sun-Drying Heritage: The craft of Arabica Cherry lies in the drying process. The cherries are spread on clean, elevated drying mats or brick patios under the intense Indian sun. This requires constant manual turning and raking to ensure the fruit dries evenly and prevents any over-fermentation, which could spoil the clean taste of the bean.

• Shade-Grown Integrity: Sourced from the high-altitude estates of the Western Ghats, these beans benefit from the slow-maturing process under a natural forest canopy. This allows the fruit to develop a higher sugar concentration, which is then absorbed by the bean during the natural drying phase.

• Meticulous Curing: Once the cherries are "husked," the green beans undergo a rigorous cleaning and grading process. We employ both mechanical sifting and manual hand-sorting to ensure that our "A" grade is free from "black" or "sour" beans, delivering a uniform and reliable product to the global market.
