About this product

Excelsa micro-lot; parchment washed; 3550 ft; Blonde–Medium roast; Vibrant body; roasted almond, raisins, and berries.

Prepared in small batches under the Coorg Mist micro-lots programme in Madikeri, Kodagu.

Coorg Mist Coffee Co is created and powered by Hyperbridge; Aakhil Appaiah leads local sourcing, roasting, and fulfilment operations.

The Science

Excelsa is a genetically distinct coffee species (often classed with Liberica) whose thick parchment is removed only after full wet fermentation and washing, leaving a cleaner, sugar-restrained cup. Its low caffeine and unusual lipid profile roast toward almond and stone-fruit notes rather than the citrus brightness typical of washed arabica.

The Story

A species most roasters never touch, grown quietly at 3550 feet above Madikeri. We wash it the old way, dry it slow, and let it taste like the tree it actually is — roasted almond and raisin, not an imitation of anything else.
