BRIGHT, MODERN,
FRUIT-FORWARD FLAVOURS.
Harley Estate is primarily known for its specialty robusta production, but here they hand select their finest arabica cherries, wash in clean water and then ferment them overnight with a special yeast called Pichia. The coffee is then transferred to raised beds to be slow-dried, with even and regular raking. This processing lends the coffee a floral, fruity note and sweet finish and presents a really beautiful micro-lot.
Please note we only hold a limited stock of these products, but we aim to roast at least two times a week (T&Cs apply)
How to brew
We normally lean toward filter brewing for the producer series as the method highlights the more complex and delicate flavours in lighter roasted coffee. As always, we default to the industry standard of 60g of coffee per litre of water as a starting point.
For espresso try a 1:2.5 brew ratio and shot times of around 24-30 seconds.
Tasting notes
Enticing, aromatic notes of dried fig and plum with a rich, dark chocolate flavour, citrus zestiness and a pleasantly winey finish. This is all layered with a nutty, velvety full-bodied character. Enjoy as a vibrant and fruity batch brew or a big-hitting espresso.
