Flavour Category
chocolate & caramel chocolate & caramel
High quality coffee has wide ranging, naturally occurring taste notes. The dominant flavour profile in this coffee is Chocolate & Caramel. Brought out by the roasting process – caramelisation happens towards the end of the roast. Generally the darker the roast, the more dominant the chocolate and caramel flavours are.
Roast
This coffee is a light roast. Roast level influences the flavour and body of coffee. Darker roasts are fuller bodied, lighter roasts brighter. The beans are light brown in colour (unsurprisingly), it will retain more of the natural flavour of the coffee. This can result in a higher acidity and may often show more fruit and floral notes. This roast style means the quality of the coffee shines through the best.

Best Brewed As

This coffee is best brewed as an espresso (coffee shop type machine or a bean to cup). All our coffees can be brewed using any method, but this is our recommendation for a method which suits the coffee particularly well.
Processing Method
This coffee was processed using the washed method. Post-harvest processing influences the taste profile. Washed coffees are brighter, naturally processed are sweeter and honey processed are somewhere in between.

More about this microlot

Sweet and creamy with vibrant notes of candied orange and a gentle hint of ginger spice in the finish. Full-bodied as an espresso and lusciously smooth with milk, evoking the warmth of ginger cake.

The Gundikhan Estate is located in India’s Baba Budan Giri region, where coffee was first planted in 1670. Legend has it that Sufi saint Baba Budan smuggled seven coffee beans from Yemen to India, introducing coffee to the Chandradrona hills of Karnataka.

Gundikhan coffee is cultivated sustainably under diverse shade trees, many indigenous, with a focus on wildlife-friendly practices. The estate borders the Bhadra Tiger Reserve, home to tigers, leopards, elephants, and a rich variety of other wildlife.

Third-generation farmer Saif, along with his parents and wife, continues to nurture this exceptional coffee while safeguarding the surrounding ecosystem.
