Fine Cup Award Winning Process Exclusive Lot. Limited Edition: 16 kgs. Chocolatey, berry-like, boozy, all in the same coffee? Yes, the complexity of this coffee is truly mind boggling! This is the 3rd year of us bringing the Couverture Canephora to you. This beautiful Robusta is grown by Mr Mahesh Nayananan of TheNaturalFarmer, based in Pulneys, Tamil Nadu, and fermented using their proprietary methods. Canephora, an old name of the Robusta, has us coming back for more. This coffee is fruity, acidic, and chocolatey - with zero bitterness, all at the same time! Tasting this coffee is like drinking a light and boozy Madagascar hot chocolate. Isn’t that mind-blowing? This coffee is a limited lot of 16kg, and has won the Flavour of India - Fine Cup Award 2023 for Robusta Naturals. We cupped the first edition of this coffee blind, with 5 people, and none of them could say it was a Robusta. It continues to blow many more minds ever since. The coffee beans that go into Couverture Canephora were nurtured for 17 months - 12 months on the plant, 15 days for fermentation, and 4.5 months, for extended slow drying. The result of so much time, love, effort, and attention is something so complex, it opened our eyes. Coming from sir Mahesh Narayanan and the team at TheNaturalFarmer, this coffee clearly reflects the excellent cultivation practices that the coffee has received during the harvest and beyond, from the nurturing of sapling to plant.
