We just can’t stop buying Indian coffees, but we can’t help it when they’re as exciting as this one from PLOT. Super fruit forward cup, with strawberry and tropical fruit flavours reminding us of fruit salad sweets.

Akshay Dashrath operates a data-driven approach to farming and processing at Mooleh Manay Estate. The farm in Karnataka has optimised their agriculture across Arabica, Robusta and Excelsa to meet specialty standards using modern and experimental processing techniques.

After hand-picking and sorting, all Mooleh Manay coffees undergo pre-drying to reduce surface water which allows for a more controlled fermentation. This lot was moved to a tank for carbonic maceration, where it was inoculated by a yeast created by Akshay’s research and development wing and fermented for 60 hours. The fermented cherries were then moved to raised beds for even drying.
