---

You may recognise Veer Attikan Estate, but did you know it’s divided into over 30 distinct ‘fields’ which are kept separate throughout the entire process, all the way to the final cupping and selection? While slurping through this year’s harvest, we separated our favourite lots to highlight the distinct varietal and terroir differences from across the estate. This lot, BC (Big Clearing), is from one of the highest elevated fields mostly growing SL-795. Finished with honey processing has brought out flavours of rich fig jam & luxurious honey, balanced by delicate lemon acidity.

Other lots selected for release this season:

• Pulphouse, India

• Kombeymada, India

• Gensinkerai, India

--- More about "Big Clearing" Field ~~~ Big Clearing (BC) is one of the east facing slopes bordering the naturally-forested wind breaks which are scattered around the farm. This makes it a prime habitat for many of the wild elephants, Indian gaur (bison) and spotted deer which roam wild, as the dense forest provides perfect camouflage for them all. The field is predominantly made up of the SL 795 variety well known for rust resistance, high yields and a base from which high quality and desirable cupping profiles can be obtained. === Suggested Recipe ~~~ In: 21.5g Out: 44g Time: 30sec Temp: 95°C ===

The BC Field Lot, sourced from the Veer Attikan Estate in India, offers a compelling look at the SL-795 varietal. This specific selection is processed using the honey method, a technique that balances the clarity of washed coffees with the sweetness typically associated with sun-dried beans. To better understand how these techniques influence the final cup, you can explore our processing methods explainer.

Roasted by Five Senses, this lot presents a profile defined by fig jam, honey, and lemon. While honey-processed coffees often exhibit a syrupy mouthfeel and heightened sweetness, the specific expression of these notes can vary significantly based on the roast profile and brewing method. As you evaluate the nuances of this Indian origin, we encourage you to reference our flavor wheel to help identify and articulate the complex interplay between the bright citrus acidity and the deep, jammy undertones found in this unique harvest.
