Our bold dark roast is back! Sourced from Krishnagiri estate, high up in the Chandra drona hills (a.k.a the Giris) of Chikmagalur, this lot of washed arabica fascinated us with its bean density and versatility (traits we have come to associate with the coffee from Krishnagiri estate). Ripe cherries of the Chandrigiri varietal have been selected for this lot and the estate has tweaked their standard washed process to eke more out of the coffee. Just like last year, we decided to a more developed roast apart from the medium roast; taking the beans close to second crack but stopping short of that point. This makes the coffee stand up to milk better but retains some origin character. The boldness of this coffee reminds us of the rāga tōdi and is our go to for milk based drinks. Tōdi the coffee is a delight on the espresso machine (10 days post date of roast) moka pot, south-indian filter and immersion brewers like French press and Aeropress.
