India Natural Robusta

These Robusta "parchment" beans are well-sorted and dried in the sun for dense, delicious flavor and surprisingly fragrant aroma. We are loving it. We're offering them in a "Chocolate Roast" (like medium but with an extended time after "First Crack" to develop their natural chocolate tones) and Harlequin Roast (in this blend, the Harlequin is 2/3 Dark and 1/3 Light/City Roast). Robusta in India is grown in rich soil at altitudes higher than typical in the rest of the world, and lovingly cultivated to specialty coffee cupping standards. The parent plants were likely imported into India over a century ago from Sumatra, and they have the same chocolatey profile as beans brought into Indochina (including Vietnam) by French Jesuits circa 1890-1920. We are offering this coffee as a stand-alone single origin of exceptionally quality, and also creating some new blends in which the rich, earthy flavor of these beans will shine. This Robusta offering is sourced from the Sakleshpu and Coorg distr
