About the Process

Lekali Anaerobic Natural: 
The coffee cherries are selectively hand-picked at peak ripeness and then carefully sorted before processing. They undergo a 9-day anaerobic fermentation in sealed tanks under oxygen-free conditions, with the process closely monitored through pH until it reaches the target level of approximately pH 4.0. After fermentation, the cherries are spread out for around two weeks of sun drying, where they are gradually dried under controlled conditions until the desired moisture level is achieved. The dried coffee is then prepared for dry milling and final sorting, ensuring consistency and quality before it is ready for export.

Cuppers Note : 

A vibrant and fruit-forward natural coffee with notes of kiwi and black grapes, complemented by a rich jaggery sweetness. The cup opens with a bright, juicy acidity reminiscent of ripe kiwi, followed by dark grape-like fruit character and a smooth, rounded sweetness. A medium roast brings balance and clarity to the cup, with a lingering jaggery-like finish and a pleasant, syrupy mouthfeel.

Taplejung Changray, Nepal

Grown in the remote highlands of Taplejung, a district in Far Eastern Nepal set beneath the shadow of Kanchenjunga, this specialty Anaerobic Natural coffee reflects the character of one of the country's most fertile and dramatic terrains. Cultivated at 1,200–1,350 meters above sea level by a collective of around 200 local farming households, the coffee is a blend of Bourbon, Caturra, and Typica varietals — chosen for their sweetness and classic specialty profiles. The high altitude, mineral-rich soil, and clean mountain air of Taplejung contribute to the bean's complex natural sugars and acidity, while a carefully controlled 9-day anaerobic fermentation and two weeks of sun-drying bring out its signature tropical and stone fruit notes: dried mango, cherry, plum, apricot, and fig. The result is a cup with mild, clean acidity and a naturally sweet, juicy finish — a true expression of Taplejung's unique terroir and the craftsmanship of the farmers who tend it.
