The Nut Job – Mooleh Manay 120H Carbonic Naturals – Fine Robusta

The Nut Job marks South India Coffee Company’s latest Robusta experiment — an extended 120-hour carbonic macerated natural that delivers a standout nut-driven profile with delicate floral aromatics. This lot demonstrates how far Robusta has evolved, offering depth and nuance once considered out of reach for the species. We continue to seek coffees that merge Robusta’s signature richness with the complexity unlocked through thoughtful fermentation, and this release stands as compelling proof of what the future of Robusta can be. Mooleh Manay Estate is managed by Komal and Akshay, who took over from the fourth-generation coffee planter, Ms. G.G. Padmashree. The estate is located near the picturesque backwaters of the Harangi Reservoir in Coorg, Karnataka. It adopts a data-driven approach to farming and coffee processing, believing that data is essential for optimizing agricultural practices and ensuring the highest quality coffee production. The farm cultivates a variety of coffee species, including Arabica, Robusta, and Excelsa, and employs meticulous processing methods to bring out the best in the coffee. The farm is committed to continuous improvement and innovation and is actively involved in research on native Indian Coffea species and soil health.
