Description

Indian Kaapi Royale is widely regarded as one of the highest-quality washed Robustas produced in India. Classified as an A grade coffee, it is free from major defects and recognized for its smooth, specialty-grade character. Known for its full body and distinct notes of spice and chocolate, this coffee offers a surprisingly clean cup without the harsh bitterness often associated with Robusta. The washed process further enhances its clarity and balance, making it a sought-after component for espresso blends worldwide. Kaapi Royale can stand in for a Brazilian Arabica in terms of flavor balance, while contributing extra body, depth, and an impressive crema. This particular lot comes from smallholder farmers who deliver their harvest to a central mill. In India, coffee is traditionally grown under shade, a practice that supports both quality and environmental sustainability. The crop is typically harvested from December through March

Cupping Notes:Delivers a smooth, rounded profile with earthy depth, sweet caramelized nut notes, and a gentle richness. The medium-to-full body carries through to a clean, lingering finish, accented by subtle brown spice and a light, mellow acidity..
