Rast Plantation, India
If you love coffees with character and depth, you will love Rast Plantation from India. This single origin comes from the Giris region of Chikmagalur - one of the oldest coffee-growing regions in the country. Hand-picked, sun-dried and processed with a great deal of experience, this Arabica coffee brings a fascinating combination of spice, chocolate and a fine fruity flavour to your cup.
The aroma of roasted hazelnut unfolds on the nose, dense and inviting. On the tongue, Rast Plantation is pleasantly spicy, with clear hints of dark chocolate and a hint of ripe plum. A natural sweetness rounds off the flavour and ensures a soft, full-bodied mouthfeel. A coffee that is delicious on its own or with milk.
Rast Plantation is an ideal companion for café crème (3/3) - where its spicy, nutty notes come into their own. As an espresso (1/3), it impresses with its gentle fruitiness and creamy body. It is less suitable for preparation in a filter, as its strength lies in extraction under pressure. It is therefore perfect for your portafilter or fully automatic machine.
The SLN.9 variety used is specially adapted to the conditions in India and produces stable yields while maintaining high quality. The coffee cherries are selectively picked by hand during the harvest period between December and February. The combination of a mountainous growing region, traditional methods and careful processing makes Rast Plantation an aromatic experience - and an honest tribute to Indian speciality coffee.
