we’ve got a new coffee from Skylark Coffee on the bar and this one’s pretty special...
"Harvest" is the second of four limited edition coffees Skylark are releasing throughout the year, following on from "Midsummer". The series is a project of Will’s, so naturally we’re all son pleased to have the next instalment in the shop.
this one comes from kerehaklu in Karnataka, India, a family run farm now run by Ajoy and Pranoy Thipaiah who grow coffee alongside a pretty incredible amount of other plants and wildlife.
Will went out to see them this year and stayed with Pranoy at the farm to get a proper look at how they do things, seeing how the coffee is grown, processed, learning how they roast and, very excitingly, cupping this coffee there before deciding to buy it. So a nice full circle moment now having it on the bar back home.
Harvest is an anoxic washed coffee, which basically means it starts fermenting in an “oxygen reduced environment” before being washed. Pranoy initiated fermentation using liquid from another active fermentation, known as Mosto. Clever stuff, and it’s led to a very sweet and very autumn appropriate coffee thats giving apple crumble, pecan and raisin.
its on guest espresso at the moment and, because we’re particularly enjoying it, we’ve stuck it on batch brew today too. Also available to get for home brewing so come grab a box. 🦊👍
