Wrapped in banana leaves

At Biccode Estate in Karnataka, the cherries are hand-picked and sealed inside anaerobic barrels lined with banana leaves grown on the farm. Yele, in the local tongue. For 48 hours, the leaves and the fruit ferment together. Then the beans are pulped and dried on raised beds for 22 days.

The leaves leave their mark. What comes out is rounded and smooth, with berries, milk chocolate, and a quiet finish of hazelnut.

Questions

How should I store it?

In an airtight container, away from light and heat. Don't refrigerate.

Why only whole bean?

Coffee starts losing flavor the moment it's ground. Whole bean keeps it fresh until you brew.

If you don't have a grinder, even a small inexpensive one will significantly change what you taste. We're happy to recommend one. Just email us.

What do "washed," "natural," and "honey" mean?

They're processing methods, or how the coffee fruit is removed from the bean after harvest.

Washed coffees taste cleaner and brighter, with the flavors of the bean itself.

Natural coffees taste fruitier and bolder, because the bean dries inside the fruit.

Honey is in between, with some fruit left on during drying.

How is this different from coffee I get at the store?

Two things. We source directly from the farm. And we roast in small batches, so the bag in your hand was roasted recently, not months ago.

What if I don't like it?

Tell us. We'll make it right with a refund, a replacement, or a different coffee on us. Coffee is personal, and we'd rather you find one you love than keep a bag you don't.
