A Note from the Producer

Brewer's Tribute is our small gesture of appreciation to the Indian home-brewing community that has supported us, brewed our coffees, shared their feedback, and helped us grow over the years.

For this release, we wanted to make a specialty light-roasted coffee accessible to a much wider community. We are therefore offering Brewer's Tribute at approximately 35–40% of the prevailing market price for coffees of comparable quality and positioning.

This coffee is our way of saying thank you to the home brewers who have been part of our journey.

Brewer's Tribute comes from a large lot of ripe coffee cherries from Kalyancool Estate, Chikmagalur. Rather than treating this as a conventional production coffee, the ripe cherries were carefully selected and prepared specifically for fermentation.

The cherries were gently bruised to partially open the fruit, increasing contact between the coffee and the fermentation environment. The prepared cherries were then transferred into fermentation tanks, where LALCAFÉ INTENSO yeast was introduced to initiate a controlled fermentation.

The coffee was fermented under controlled conditions for 120 hrs, allowing the yeast-driven process to develop additional sweetness, fruit complexity, and body while retaining the underlying character of the estate.

Following fermentation, the coffee was transferred to raised beds for slow, shaded drying. The gradual drying process allowed the coffee to stabilize naturally while preserving the sweetness and structure developed during fermentation.

Once dried and stabilized, the coffee was hulled, sorted, and prepared for roasting. The final coffee is light roasted, with careful roast development intended to retain the character created during processing while keeping the cup clean, vibrant, and suitable for home brewing.

In the cup, Brewer's Tribute brings together crisp apple, dark grape sweetness, mixed berry character, and dark chocolate depth.
