A cup with a strong aromatic structure: beautifully balanced, with a round body, intense notes of chocolate, almond and acacia honey, and a lingering finish of caramelized orange and balsamic mountain herbs.

Washed Process

The harvested coffee cherries are first selected, either mechanically or in water tanks, to remove unripe cherries and other foreign matter. They are then processed with depulpers to remove the skin (exocarp) and pulp (outer mesocarp).

With a portion of the mucilage (inner mesocarp) left on the parchment (endocarp), the coffee beans are fermented in water tanks for around 14 to 36 hours. During this time, the microorganisms in the beans help break down the mucilage with their enzymes.

The beans are then washed with fresh water and laid to dry on either cement patios or raised beds, or in some cases placed in mechanical dryers. They are turned regularly to avoid unwanted mold and further fermentation, and when the beans reach around 11% humidity they are stored in parchment (endocarp), before being milled and bagged.

High in the Himalayas, a Nepali Coffee Farm Rewrites the Rules

Tucked into the highlands of Nepal, where glacial meltwater feeds both irrigation and processing, a group of producers has been quietly proving that specialty-grade coffee and social good can grow from the same soil.

Nepali coffee remains a true niche origin – produced in small volumes, but of exceptional quality. Since 1994, the estate has cultivated its Arabica without using chemical pesticides or fertilizers, letting pure mountain water and Himalayan terroir shape a cup of remarkable aromatic depth, yet beautifully balanced.

Beyond the cup lies real impact. With men often leaving for work in distant cities, women frequently remain in these remote communities alongside children and elders. The farm has made a lasting difference to the livelihood of this interior region’s inhabitants, offering women fair employment and dedicated training. Paired with reforestation efforts and a commitment to organic farming, this is coffee grown with genuine purpose.
