JAGGERY TRAIL

🌱 Process: Yellow Honey

Jaggery Trail is a clean, sweet and balanced coffee that is not designed to be a fruit-forward cup like many natural-processed coffees. Instead, the Yellow Honey process brings out a gentle sweetness and subtle fruit character, with jaggery sweetness taking centre stage and the fruit notes remaining soft and well integrated.

☕ Roast Profile Available: Light Plus
100% Arabica

This coffee comes from Kaapikaadu Estate, located at an elevation of 950 MASL in Sakleshpur, Karnataka. The farm is a coffee forest surrounded by natural lakes and streams and sits adjacent to reserve forest. The estate receives annual visits from elephants, bison, and other wildlife, making it a distinctive growing environment for coffee.

The coffee is produced by Austin Lobo, a third-generation planter. Only ripe cherries are selectively harvested, with careful attention given to quality at the picking stage.

After harvest, the cherries are processed as a Yellow Honey coffee and slowly dried on raised beds. The gradual drying process allows the coffee to develop and retain its natural sweetness while maintaining a clean and balanced cup.

Roasted Light Plus, Jaggery Trail keeps the sweetness at the forefront while allowing delicate fruit characteristics to develop underneath. The cup opens with a distinct jaggery sweetness, followed by soft notes of red apple and pear. As the coffee cools, a gentle orange zest character adds a fresh citrus lift. The fruit remains subtle and integrated rather than becoming the dominant character of the cup.

This is a coffee suited to those who enjoy clean, sweet and balanced cups, where the character of the honey process is expressed through natural sweetness rather than intense fermentation or heavy fruitiness.
