Riesling Esten - Roasting Soon
Complex AF Coffee. Fine Cup Award '24 Winning Arabica
Award Winning Coffee. Limited Edition of 16kgs only.
Drumroll! The lot that won the Fine Cup Award in 2024 in the Arabica Experimental Category - The Crown Jewel from The Natural Farmer is here. This is a complex Arabica with fruits of labour from the signature long love, care and effort of this estate, not just before, but also post harvest.
The S10 varietal is a double cross hybrid of (Caturra x Cioccie) x (Caturra x S.795). Caturra originated in Brazil, Cioccie is of Ethiopian origin, and S795 is a hybrid bred by the Indian Coffee Board. This makes it a complex mix of acidity, body and flavour.
This roast balances the complex acidity and sweetness of the coffee.
A true masterpiece of patience and precision, the Riesling Esten undergoes an extraordinary extreme fermentation process followed by an unprecedented 4.5-month slow drying period—a testament to the estate's unwavering commitment to excellence.
Cultivated at 3600 feet in the pristine Pulney Hills of Tamil Nadu, each cherry is hand-selected through at least 8 meticulous rounds of picking, ensuring only the most perfect fruit makes it to processing. This painstaking attention to detail reveals itself in every sip.
With its remarkably low bitterness, this medium roast delivers a vibrant, complex cup - we suggest you bypass it to reveal the full spectrum of this exceptional coffee's character.
Tasting Notes: Strong boozy body with layers of purple fruit and bright bergamot at first encounter, mellowing into the sweetness of wild honey. The cup evolves beautifully, revealing the sophisticated tannins of black tea.
