Excelsa

Excelsa is one of the rarest coffees you'll find from India. Produced using an anaerobic natural fermentation, this coffee develops exceptional fruit complexity while preserving its distinctive character. Excelsa accounts for well under 0.01% of India's coffee production, and only a handful of producers have mastered processing it to specialty standards. Unlike Arabica, Excelsa demands a completely different roasting approach, requiring a slower roast with extended development to unlock its full potential. The result is a remarkably layered cup with notes of fermented fruits, red wine, and dates, offering a rich sweetness, deep complexity, and an experience that's unmistakably unique. This is a rare expression of Indian specialty coffee, produced in extremely limited quantities.
