☕ New arrival: Raxidi Estate India Robusta
We are delighted to introduce a washed Robusta from Raxidi Estate in India, roasted in small batches here in Pershore, Worcestershire.
Raxidi is a family-run estate, now in its fourth generation, where some of the coffee trees are more than 80 years old. They grow beneath a canopy of native shade trees, and the Malabar Grey Hornbill, a vulnerable species, is a regular visitor.
The cherries are picked selectively by hand, so that only fully ripe fruit is taken. A picker gathers just 15 to 20 kg in a day. The coffee is then washed, which gives a clean, sweet and well-structured cup, free of the woody harshness that Robusta is so often judged by. This lot is graded AB, screen 15+, so the beans are carefully sorted for size.
In the cup, expect a full body, a deep chocolate character and a thick, lasting crema. It is a superb choice for espresso and a rewarding companion to milk.
✔ Single estate, shade-grown and hand-picked
✔ Washed process, AB screen 15+
✔ Roasted in small batches in Worcestershire
