Origin and Processing

Velvet Force comes from Yercaud, Tamil Nadu, in southern India, a mountainous region surrounded by lush tropical vegetation.

The coffee grows at approximately 1,500 meters above sea level, in a diverse agricultural landscape where coffee is cultivated alongside other tropical plants.

This lot comes from local smallholder farmers working in collaboration with Riverdale Coffee Estate.

Unlike the more commonly encountered Arabica coffees, Velvet Force belongs to the species Coffea canephora, widely known as Robusta.

Robusta generally contains more caffeine than Arabica and is known for its fuller body and typically lower acidity.

The coffee undergoes Natural processing, with the whole cherries dried before their outer fruit layers are removed.

This approach contributes to an expressive, full-bodied cup with chocolate, spice, and molasses-like sweetness.

The result is a distinctive Robusta offering creamy texture, pronounced intensity, and a long-lasting finish.
