100% Arabica | Single Estate Plantation - Kerehaklu Chikkamagaluru

Creating awareness of the humpback Mahseer and the unfortunate situation the species is in. 

Dried for 14 days in a polyhouse and aged on jute off the ground, Mahseer shines when brewed in a Chemex or V60, though a cold drip brings out its depth beautifully. Its juicy body and vibrant freshness linger on the palate.

About the Humpback Mahseer:

This tiger does not have stripes. But the humpback Mahseer, a large freshwater fish also called the tiger of the water, found only in the Cauvery river basin is listed as Critically Endangered on the IUCN red list.
