Gungegiri Estate sits in the lush Chandra-Drona (Baba Budangiri) hills of Chikmagalur, one of India’s most historic coffee-growing regions. Coffee has been cultivated here since the late 1800s, and today the 350-acre estate is managed by Hamsini and Shreeram Appadurai. Surrounded by native shade trees, flowing streams, and abundant wildlife, the farm produces coffees that reflect both the biodiversity and rich coffee heritage of the region.

This lot is an SLN 795 Arabica processed as a Lactobacillus and Pichia fermented natural. After careful hand-picking and sorting, the cherries undergo a 78-hour anaerobic fermentation, during which the cherries are inoculated with a selected microbial culture containing Lactobacillus and Pichia yeast strains. After fermentation, cherries are spread on raised beds to dry slowly for approximately 12-15 days. The result is a vibrant and layered cup with notes of Blackberry Jam, Starfruit, and Caramel.

We love this coffee on filter, where the juicy fruit character and bright acidity really shine. As espresso, it becomes richer and more syrupy, with jammy sweetness and a lingering caramel finish.
