Harley Estate (Robusta)

From the roaster

The coffee cherries for this microlot are cultivated at mid-elevation slopes of Harley Estate, located in the fertile Chikmagalur region of Karnataka. The estate utilizes traditional and sustainable farming practices, with a particular focus on selective harvesting and post-harvest innovation. Only fully ripened cherries with a Brix level above 19% are hand-harvested during peak season. This ensures optimal sugar content, contributing to flavor clarity and depth in the final cup. The outcome is a distinctively clean and complex cup, featuring structured sweetness, rich body, and layered notes of dark chocolate, citrus, and grape skin.   Origin - Chikmagalur Altitude - 3500–3800 feet above sea level Varietal - Old Peridinia Robusta Roast Level - Medium Processing Method - Anaerobic Yeast Fermentation Primary Notes - Dark Chocolate Secondary Notes - Mandarin Orange, Black Grapes Mouthfeel - Full-bodied Acidity - Balanced, with enhanced tartness Sweetness - Medium to High
