Pineapple Express

Pineapple Express - 2025 Harvest Pineapple Fermentation | Microlot Series Welcome to the cutting edge of Indian specialty coffee. Pineapple Express is a bold and vibrant microlot crafted at Barbara Estate, nestled in the highlands of Baba Budangiri, Chikmagalur. Grown at an elevation of 1550m and fermented using ripe pineapple, this coffee is the result of pioneering post-harvest innovation - an experiment in flavor that delivers a one-of-a-kind sensory experience. This medium roast 100% Arabica coffee opens with a winey acidity and sweet dried fruit aroma, evolving into notes of apple, dried mango, vanilla, and caramel, with a whisper of spice and a refined, spirit-like finish. It's the perfect harmony of brightness and sweetness - delightfully unexpected, yet beautifully balanced. Whether you brew it as espresso, French press, moka pot, or cold brew, Pineapple Express is a journey worth taking. Why Pineapple Fermentation? The pineapple not only contributes natural sugars and microbial diversity to enhance fermentation, but it also accelerates mucilage breakdown, ensuring a cleaner drying process and a mold-free bean. The result is a coffee bursting with flavor, though it doesn’t taste like pineapple, it carries the spirit of tropical innovation in every sip.
