Green Coffee: India, Parchment

Profile

This coffee is a very mild Robusta with notes of chocolate, nuts and honey. It has an intense body and a spicy aftertaste. Robusta coffees are less exciting in taste than Arabicas, but are popular in blends because they give the coffee body and, above all, a beautiful crema. They also contain significantly more caffeine than Arabicas.

Origin

This Robusta originates in Karnataka in the Chikmagalur District, one of the best Robusta regions in India. It comes from three estates – Balehonnur, Manamboli and Raigode – which have been growing this coffee for several decades. It is cultivated at 750 to 1,000 metres above sea level in a clayey soil. The coffee is harvested, processed and selected very carefully, which is why it is very popular with lovers of espresso blends.

Roasting Recommendation for India Parchment

We recommend a darker (full city+) to light French roast to emphasize the nutty notes.
