About the Farm
Crystal Valley Estate sits on a steep, northeast-facing slope in the highlands of North Coorg. With over 70 inches of annual rainfall, hot summers, monsoon winds, and rich clay-loamy soils, the estate provides ideal growing conditions for coffee. Under the careful management of Mac Machaiah, the estate has become known for producing distinctive coffees that highlight the unique terroir of the region.
Flavour Profile
A smooth, indulgent Indian coffee with depth and balance.
- Toffee & Brown Sugar: Sweet and dessert-like
- Dark Chocolate: Rich, velvety body
- Vanilla & Honey: Soft, creamy sweetness with subtle fruit nuance
Processing Method
This lot undergoes a red honey process: ripe cherries are selectively harvested and depulped, leaving a layer of sugary mucilage intact. The coffee is then sun-dried on raised beds for 7–10 days, carefully turned to ensure even drying. This method intensifies sweetness, body, and complexity, resulting in a rich and balanced cup.
Brewing Recommendations
- Aeropress: Sweet and balanced with chocolate depth
- Filter (Mild Drip/Pour Over): Smooth, clean cup with toffee sweetness
- Espresso (Milk-Based): Full-bodied, chocolate-rich shots with creamy balance
- French Press: Round, sweet, and comforting
Perfect For:
Those who enjoy indulgent sweetness wrapped in smooth elegance — a cup that balances rich chocolate depth with soft vanilla and honeyed warmth. A true reflection of Coorg’s rugged highlands and careful red honey processing, this coffee offers quiet complexity and comforting balance in every brew.
