Chandragiri Honey Process — Medium Roast

Honey processing — where the cherry skin is removed but some mucilage is left on the bean during drying — gives this Chandragiri a complexity that washed coffees rarely achieve. The sticky mucilage caramelises slightly on the drying bed, adding a stone-fruit sweetness that persists through roasting.

Chandragiri is a compact, disease-resistant variety selected by CCRI. At Kynetra it ripens two weeks after our S795 block, giving us a natural stagger that avoids harvest bottlenecks and lets us dedicate attention to each lot.

Medium-roasted to 205°C peak, the cup offers dried apricot, brown sugar, and a long cocoa-powder finish. Excellent as a 1:2 espresso ratio or a slower, more contemplative filter brew.
