The coffee, the craft, how to use it.

The Coffee

Nilgiris clarity in every cup.

At 1,400–1,600 MASL, the Salawara Estate in the Nilgiris grows SLN6 at some of the highest elevations in South Indian coffee. The slow growth at altitude gives the beans a density and clarity that sets them apart — and the washed process keeps the cup exceptionally clean.

We roast this to a true medium to preserve the Nilgiri terroir — the floral notes, the hibiscus-like acidity, and the milk chocolate sweetness that makes this estate's coffee so distinctive. A single origin that earns its place on any serious menu.

Roast Profile
Medium — precise and clean. High-altitude SLN6 has inherent sweetness and structure that needs careful roasting to preserve. Nothing more than it needs.

Temp

Medium grind. Open ratio to let the floral and citrus notes through. Best as a single shot or piccolo where the origin character has room.

High-altitude washed coffees like Salawara are best brewed with clean, filtered water and precise temperature control. The floral notes are delicate — even 2°C difference changes the cup significantly.

Milk Based Drinks

Milk chocolate and almond sweetness through milk. The floral note adds an unusual, welcome brightness.

Latte
Double espresso · 180ml milk · light foam
Black Drinks

Hibiscus and citrus up front, milk chocolate through the centre, clean almond finish. A memorable cup.
