Embers Coffee – Baba Budangiri, India

Our seasonal autumn coffee is here, bringing those warm, cosy vibes with a little Indian twist. This year’s Embers Coffee comes from the Baba Budangiri region of India (pronounced ba-ba boo-dan-gi-ri) a historic range of hills and the birthplace of Indian coffee.

Baba Budangiri is named after Baba Budan, the Sufi saint who is said to have brought seven coffee seeds to India, making the region a particularly special part of the country’s coffee story. As Baba Budangiri is a range rather than a single farm, Embers is a regional coffee made up of contributions from several estates, including Devarkhan Estate pictured.

Produced by Allanasons Limited and grown across elevations ranging from 1,000 to 1,620 metres above sea level, this washed Arabica is made up of Cauvery, Chandragiri, S.795 and SLN9 varieties. The historic estates are lush and shade-grown, with Arabica plants thriving beneath a multi-layered canopy of silver oaks, wild figs and intercropped spices such as pepper and cardamom.

Embers brings plenty of autumnal comfort, with rich caramelised sweetness, milk chocolate and warming clove. It’s a coffee with depth and sweetness, crafted as a versatile omni roast that works beautifully as a bright, balanced filter or a rich and sweet espresso. A comforting seasonal cup with a distinctly Indian character.
