Karadykan Floral Natural

Single-origin and single-estate specialty coffee beans (also available as ground coffee aligned to each brewing method), grown in Karadykan Estate in the Bababudangiri hills of Chikmagalur, Karnataka. This SLN9 natural opens with a light floral aroma and moves into orange zest, cacao nibs and dried fruit.

Post-Harvest & Processing: Hand-picked ripe cherries are floated to remove under-ripes, then sanitized and siphoned. The cherries are then innoculated with a floral culture and left to ferment in a closed drum until pH reaches 4. The coffees are sundried after fermentation for 19 days. As feft in extended contact with its own sugars in this process, the coffee develops a light floral aroma and dried-fruit sweetness that defines this natural.
