Brandywine Coffee Roasters

India - Kerehaklu - Lychee and Niche - lot O

From the legendary Kerehaklu estate in India's Western Ghats (1200 MASL), this Selection 10 varietal undergoes a carefully controlled washed process with a distinctive twist: a 20L lychee and soil starter culture inoculates the 24-hour fermentation in barrels. Producers Ajoy and Pranoy Thipaiah hand-sort, float, and de-pulp their cherry with precision before this custom fermentation, which deepens complexity without overwhelming the coffee's delicate profile. Expect vanilla, florals, and white peach—a sugary, spiced fruit expression that feels both refined and playful. This is specialty-grade processing that rewards curiosity.
