Sri Lanka, Dunsinane Estate, Lot 2267, Natural Anaerobic (40g)-Pineapple, Red Currant & Apricot

Description

Dansinane Estate, located in the cool highlands of Pundaluoya between 1400 and 1700 metres above sea level, represents a vibrant expression of Sri Lankan specialty coffee. Coffee is cultivated among the estate’s tea fields, where wet red-yellow soils and cool growing conditions encourage slow fruit maturation and exceptional cup quality.

This lot combines the Sarchimor varietal harvested during the October to December season before undergoing a carefully controlled Natural Anaerobic fermentation. The extended process allows sweetness and aromatic complexity to develop gradually while maintaining remarkable clarity and balance throughout the cup.

Roasted for filter brewing, the coffee opens with lively pineapple sweetness before unfolding into bright red currant and soft apricot. Floral aromatics reminiscent of dried fruits complement the medium body, while medium acidity brings freshness and definition to every sip. The finish is clean and juicy, supported by delicate chocolate sweetness intertwined with berries and tropical fruit.
Rather than chasing intensity, this coffee celebrates precision and elegance—showcasing how Natural Anaerobic fermentation can build complexity while preserving clarity and structure.
