Balanoor Plantations - SL 6
A clean, aromatic SL6 washed from Balanoor Plantations in Chikmagalur, grown at 1250 MASL by the father-and-son team of Ashok and Rohan Kuriyan.
After pulping, the cherries rest overnight before being classically washed, cleaned, and very carefully sorted. It is a traditional, exacting approach that gives the cup clarity, structure, and refined sweetness.
Expect jasmine-like florals, bright orange acidity, and a soft honeyed finish. A precise light roast for filter and bright espresso. Best for expressive pour overs, bright espressos, and small fruity milk drinks.
