Prabhakhan Estate

9,40 € – 57,90 €

At the Forest Roastery, we roast Prabhakhan farm coffee to a light roast, but our signature Dark Roast coffee is also 100% Prabhakha farm coffee, so you can choose your roast level. Light roasting is the best way to bring out the natural aroma, berryiness and citrusy freshness of the coffee. This coffee is well suited for filter extraction.

Prabhakhan farm produces very small quantities of speciality coffee, and we have purchased all of this production from the farm when it has been available. The coffee is thinly fruity and acidic, and the bean is very dense and small in size, typical of the high-growing Arabica indigenous variety. The coffee farm is exceptionally high and located in a less cultivated and less populated area of the Baba Buda Mountains, so elephants and tigers are a common sight on the farm, even to the extent that the cows have been eaten by tigers. The area has little commercial farming, a clean climate and waterways, and a rich biodiversity that attracts wildlife.

Prabhakha has not used any pesticides or fertilisers to promote coffee cultivation in the last 5 years, so the coffee is clean even though it does not have commercial certification. This is one of the Forest Roaster’s family’s favourite coffees to drink at home 🙂

Roast & Extraction Recommendation

Light roast 2/6 Filter, V60, Aeropress

High in the Western Ghats mountain range, Christopher and his partners grow a rare sub-variety of Arabica-Kent coffee tree. The pickers hand-pick only the ripe coffee berries during the three rounds of collection. This meticulous handwork requires skill and time, but is essential to the realisation of a naturally processed speciality coffee. The coffee berries are picked when they are evenly ripe and then spread out in the sun to dry. During the drying process, the coffee bean ferments. Before drying, the farmer Kristopher carries out a further operation in which the picked berries are soaked overnight in water barrels. This is done to allow the coffee to ferment effectively. Incorrectly ripened or defective berries rise to the surface and are collected from the batch. Otherwise, the production process does not consume water or fossil fuels. The result is a high quality, aromatic and ecological coffee.

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.

Beans: Arabica Natural (Kent subspecies 1934)

The Prabhakhan farm produces speciality coffee in very small quantities, and we have bought all of this speciality coffee production from the farmer when it has been available. The farm's coffee is thin fruity and acidic and the coffee bean characteristics are very dense and small in size, this is typical of the high growing Arabica native variety. The coffee farm is exceptionally high and located in a less cultivated and less populated area of the Baba Buda Mountains, so elephants and tigers are commonplace at the coffee farm, even to the extent that the farm's cows have been eaten by tigers. There is little commercial farming in the area and the climate and waterways are clean, with a diversity of wildlife that attracts wildlife.

Prabhakhan has not used any pesticides or fertilisers to promote coffee farming in the last 5 years, so the coffee is clean even though it does not have commercial certification. This is one of the Forest Ranger family's favourite coffees to brew at home 🙂.
