India's Chikmagalur region is renowned as one of the country's primary coffee-growing areas, and this washed offering from PPP Coffee showcases the S795 varietal—a hybrid known for balanced, nuanced characteristics. Grown between 1000–1500 meters above sea level, the beans undergo washed processing, which typically emphasizes clarity and brightness. The roaster identifies apricot, chocolate, and hazelnut notes in the cup, a profile that bridges stone fruit brightness with deeper roasted richness—a signature combination for well-executed washed coffees from South India's cooler elevations.
