Excelsa | India
A rare coffee species you will hardly ever come across in the Czech Republic. It comes from the Bella Bean farm in the Coorg region of India and went through sequential anaerobic processing. The coffee cherries first ferment in sealed tanks without air, in several consecutive steps, and are then dried with the fruit still on. This gives the coffee a distinctly fruity and sweet character.
In the cup: tropical fruit, ripe papaya, black cherry and a juicy acidity reminiscent of caramelised pineapple.
For those who want to taste something truly different. It shines brightest as filter coffee, where the fruity notes come through best.
