The product is sold out, please check out our other coffees. The Bynemara farm has been producing high quality arabica coffee beans for the Forest Roastery since 2018, and we currently offer their 9-16 hour fermented, sun-dried washed arabica coffee beans in dark roast. The washed processed coffee is roasted very dark, and the roast is finished just at the moment of the second crack of the coffee bean. This is why the coffee bean may show small greasy beads on top, which is normal for such a dark roast. Bynemara farm wash coffee has a roastiness, chocolateiness and bitter acidity. This Forest Roastery coffee is suitable for a variety of extraction methods, including a natural Italian-style espresso, and for lovers of very dark Arabica coffee, a press pot or filter, mocha or pan coffee.

The farm is characterised by its diverse natural environment and the steep slopes where the coffee is grown. According to the farmers, it is the rich soil that gives their coffee its rich flavour, thanks to the surrounding vegetation and the exceptional microclimate. The coffee trees grow under the shade trees that include mango, betel palm, silver oak and orange trees. Shade trees nourish the soil and maintain protective biodiversity. The site is located on the edge of a national park and therefore there are no activities above the site that would degrade water or air quality. Wildlife such as elephants and wild boars are normally present on the farm. A couple of years ago, the owner of the farm also met a tiger on his morning walk around the farm. The farm’s coffee-growing area is located on a high slope. The lower area is planted with a robusta variety, other useful crops and shade trees. Pepper also grows on the farm, as the discerning eye can see from one of the gallery photos. Pepper grows intertwined with the trunks of other trees, with a maximum height of around 1100m. Pepper is therefore no longer grown in the higher coffee-growing areas of the Bynemara farm, but the high altitude differences on the farm also make it possible to grow pepper. For more information on natural processing of coffee, please visit the Bynemara farm section of our website under Coffee imports.

The coffee is roasted with self-sufficient solar and wind energy and shipped by Co2-certified sea transport.

In Finland, the beans have travelled in a biofuel-powered vehicle. You can choose to have your coffee

packaged in a 100% compostable coffee bag with a label created from hemp and sugar cane material,

or in a printed recycled cardboard coffee bag. When ordering online, you can choose the grind suitable for your coffee equipment. Your coffee will keep fresh and taste best if you order your coffee as a bean and grind the coffee beans just before extraction.

Pavut: Arabica, washed & Natural, (Catimore, S795)

Ashrita & B G Chandre Gowda, the fourth generation of Bynemara family farmers, are growing coffee in the Benaragodu Mountains of western Ghate in Karnataka province at an altitude of 1000 - 1300 m. Bynemara coffee is based on a desire to evolve and create better coffee. A generational change from father to daughter is underway, continuing a century-long tradition as a coffee-growing family. The farm's special features are its diverse natural environment and the steep slopes where the coffee grows. According to the farmers, it is the rich soil that gives their coffee its rich flavour, thanks to the surrounding vegetation and the exceptional microclimate.

There are three rounds of coffee picking to ensure the Arabica coffee berries are ripe at the time of picking. The ripe berry contains the seed of the coffee tree, also known as the bean. Picked at the right time, the seed is rich in aroma and roasts evenly. Before drying, the coffee is washed using the "full wash" method and left to ferment for 9-16 h. The younger generation of farmers on the farm describe the taste of their coffee as chocolatey, robust and slightly fatty. We recommend the Bynemara wash Arabica variety for a dark 4/5 roast.

In 2023 Bynemara farm produced natural processed coffee at the request of SampoKone. A small trial batch of this natural processed Bynemara coffee is available. It makes a great light to medium roast speciality coffee.
