India S.I.C.C. Gungergiri Natural

What's in a Name
Single origins often carry different names depending on the buyer—each one telling the story of its origin and offering a glimpse of what to expect in the cup.

Origin
India has long been an underestimated origin. But that story is changing. Producers today are bringing meticulous processing and sustainable practices to a country rich in botanical diversity.

Region
Set in the streams and shaded canopies of Chikmagalur in Southern India, Gungergiri Estate is blessed with abundant rainfall and towering native Ficus and Terminalia trees providing ideal conditions for coffee cultivation.

Producer
This coffee was introduced to us by the South India Coffee Company, dedicated to exploring coffee's genetic diversity and cultivating more sustainable coffee species and varieties.

Partnership
Led by the husband-and-wife duo of Akshay Dashrath and Komal Sable, South India Coffee Company has been an instrumental partner in our exploration of high-quality coffees from India.

Flavor Profile
This coffee is clean and comforting in the cup, with a subtle brown sugar and lemon zest aroma. Its deep sweetness reminds us of dried dates.

Processing
This lot consists of the SLN13 variety, commonly grown in India. After harvest, cherries are inoculated with Pichia yeast before being dried as a natural coffee.
