Melkodige Estate - Coferment Naturals (Cima + Lavender)

This special nanolot from Melkodige Estate brings together nature, science, and craft in the most beautiful way. Fully ripe SLN 9 cherries with high Brix content were carefully handpicked, co-fermented with lavender blossoms from Nagaland, and inoculated with Saccharomyces yeast in airtight barrels. After a slow and steady 72-hour fermentation, the cherries were dried gently for 20 days — right alongside the lavender — unlocking a cup that’s layered, floral, and unlike anything else.
We love this medium-light roast for its soft lavender aroma, bursts of mulberry, and the bright, citrusy zing of sweet lime. A hint of vanilla rounds it all out with a creamy, mellow finish. Light, elegant, and deeply expressive — this one’s meant for slow sipping and quiet moments.
