Pranoy Thipaiah is the posterchild of the Indian specialty coffee scene – didn’t we all agree on that years ago? Currently run by the father-son duo Ajoy and Pranoy, Kerehaklu estate, produces stunning lots of coffee every year, that are roasted by top roasters not only across India, but across the entire world. They experiment widely and wildly with their coffees each year to produce unique lots, collect feedback and improve cup quality by putting this understanding into practice into the following years harvest.
This Red Honey lot( 190 kgs) is a development on last year’s Black Honey nanolot that we purchased from them. This year, same as last, we were convinced about buying this lot on the first sip of the first cupping session!
We are roasting this one similar to the Black honey from Kerehaklu last year. So if you are still missing that coffee or couldn’t get enough – here is something for you to try. Contemporary style, fast, light roast profile boasts of ripe raspberry acidity, subtle floral hints ( Marigold we think!) and a complex yet structured sweetness. Designed for pour-overs and other manual brew methods , though if you know your espresso you could pull a mean, juicy, long-ratio shot with this one.
