India Velvet Force – Natural Robusta

Remarkable strength with a surprisingly creamy texture.

Velvet Force is a Natural Robusta from the mountains of Yercaud in southern India. A bold and expressive coffee for those who appreciate full-bodied flavours, depth and a lingering finish.

Its flavour profile combines notes of chocolate, spices and molasses, complemented by a dense, creamy mouthfeel.

A different coffee experience, particularly suited to those who enjoy a strong, characterful espresso.

Origin and Processing

This coffee comes from smallholder farmers in Yercaud, Tamil Nadu, working closely with Riverdale Coffee Estate.

Grown at approximately 1,500 metres above sea level, it belongs to the Coffea canephora species, commonly known as Robusta.

Compared with Arabica, Robusta typically offers a higher caffeine content, a fuller body and more intense flavours.

This lot undergoes natural processing, where coffee cherries are dried whole before the outer fruit layers are removed.

The result is a rich, expressive coffee with spicy, chocolatey notes and a deep sweetness reminiscent of molasses.
