Origin
"Sourced from several farms in Southern India, this unique coffee undergoes a 3-6 month monsooning process in special warehouses where humid monsoon winds cause the beans to swell to twice their size and develop a pale golden color. The process recreates historical clipper ship transport conditions and creates an extremely pungent, earthy profile."
Roast
Requires dark roasting with Full City+ as minimum. Benefits from longer drum roasting and 3+ days rest after roasting for optimal balance. Not suitable for light roasting due to its unique processing method.
