About SKIA Coffee (Pack of 2)
This two-pack (100 gms each) brings together distinct coffees from Nelaji Village in Coorg. Grown by smallholder farmers and processed by Ashish Rao, a first-generation producer, these lots mark our first collaboration with Skia Coffee.Β
Ripe, high-density cherries were pulped with the mucilage left intact, then placed in sealed tanks for a 72-hour anaerobic fermentation. A yeast strain purpose-built for controlled fermentation was introduced during this stage to develop complexity.Β
From there, the two lots took separate paths.Β
Honey Sun DriedΒ Β
The first lot was dried slowly on raised beds under controlled shade. Roasted to a medium profile, it makes for a balanced cup with notes of sweet lime, prunes, and almond.Β
Recommended Resting Period:Β 16 Days
Thermal ShockΒ Β
This second lot was immersed in hot water, then rapidly cooled in ice. It was then mechanically washed and dried slowly under shade. Also roasted to a medium profile, it brews cups with notes of tangerine, brown sugar, and berries.Β Β
Both coffees brew beautifully as an espresso or with an AeroPress, Moka Pot, or French Press. They taste great black and pair well with milk. Together, they offer a chance to explore how thoughtful shifts in processing shape flavour in the final cup.Β Β
Recommended Resting Period:Β 12 Days
