Roaster thoughts : A highly fermented Arabica is always a challenge until we find the right profile. We took a simple approach of roasting this coffee at a low drum speed right room the beginning to understand its inherent nature at first. After doing that we then roasting the same again and dropped coffees at multiple roast degrees up until 214 degrees. After cupping within 24 hours and brewing post 5,6 & 7 days we arrived to a final profile what can now be perceived by all brewers.
About the Crop:
The extended process Naturals from Zoya Estate starts with picking cherries that are in the range of 90-120% ripeness. The varietals used are Selection 795, Chandragiri and Sl 5B. They are then anaerobically processed for 120 Hrs. To get the deep flavours & range of tasting notes the process used is similar to the extended process of the Colombian coffees, tweaked to Indian conditions & humidity. The coffee is the slow dried for a period of 14+ days under natural sunlight, in the open. Before Dry milling, the coffee is rested for a period of 3 months, to stabilise the water activity and settle the flavours better infusing them in the bean.
