Robusta Kappi Royale Green Bean (Washed)

Sensory Profile

• Aroma: Clean, sweet, and nutty with distinct undertones of toasted malt and cedar.

• Acidity: Remarkably low and smooth; the winemaking process ensures a neutral, clean palate free of any "rubbery" or "earthy" taints.

• Body: Powerfully heavy, syrupy, and round. It provides a luxurious mouthfeel and produces a thick, persistent crema that is the hallmark of premium espresso.

• Tasting Notes: A sophisticated and mellow profile featuring rich notes of dark cocoa, roasted hazelnuts, and a savoury hint of spice. The finish is exceptionally clean and sweet, more akin to a high-grown Arabica than a standard Robusta.
  
  

The Craftsmanship

• Shade-Grown Excellence: Unlike mass-produced sun-grown Robustas, our Kaapi Royale is cultivated under a multi-tier natural forest canopy. This slow-ripening environment, unique to Indian coffee farming, allows the bean to develop a complex sugar profile and a high density unmatched by other origins.

• The Royal Wash: The craft lies in the wet-processing. Every cherry is pulped, fermented, and washed with pristine mountain water to remove all traces of mucilage. This "Fully Washed" protocol is what gives the Kaapi Royale its legendary "clean cup" characteristic.

• Intensive Hand-Sorting: Following mechanical grading, the beans undergo a final, exhaustive Manual Hand-Sorting. Our skilled artisans inspect the beans for color uniformity and physical perfection, ensuring that the final export lot is virtually free of defects and consists only of bold, jade-green "Royale" pearls.
