Roastery Coffee has introduced Balur Estate limited edition Thick Bed Honey Coffee that comes from one of the most well-known coffee plantations, Balur Estate, in Karnataka. It is a limited edition coffee, perfect for pour over and AeroPress brew lovers, as well as for all discerning coffee aficionados with notes of bubblegum and stone fruit in it, giving it a dash of exotic, fruity and refreshing flavour.
‘Thick bed' is a technique where coffee is handpicked and then dried on a thick bed to retain more moisture which results in slow drying and develops sweeter characters in coffee. The beans are roasted light to lend the notes of bubblegum and stone fruits, which makes for an interesting combination. The rare taste of bubblegum in your coffee lends it a unique character.
The brand brings fresh, seasonal coffee sourced from the best coffee farms across India. It is one of the finest brands of artisanal coffee and offers a wide range of coffees, each brewed differently. The limited edition is a new addition to the brand’s already existing range of special edition variants which include Harley Estate Grapa, Monsoon Malabar, Thogarihunkal Estate Honey Sun Dried Coffee, Carbonic Maceration (Harley Estate), to name a few.
It has been a 400-acre coffee plantation since the 1840s. Today, it is under the responsible stewardship of fourth-generation coffee planters. What makes the coffee so unique is its location and elevation. The coffee is processed with the utmost attention at each processing stage from picking to milling. Every bean by hand, manually harvested only when the fruits are cherry red, and no mechanical harvesting is used that would mix bitter green beans in with matured red fruit.
State-of-the-art machinery and skilled workers are employed to ensure coffee that is consistently defect-free. Different methods of coffee processing are explored at the estate and the phrase ‘quality from crop to cup' best describes the planning and operation of the brand’s coffee.
The prices range between Rs 400 and Rs 750.
