Coffee, RBCK, black...heavenly

Good Karma for 2006/2007! Our new-crop Cherry Karma has arrived! A limited supply, though more ample than last year’s introduction of this divine libation—the only coffee of this type ever to reach North America—is available only from Raven's Brew. This exclusive and unique coffee was produced and privately offered to RBC by Ashok Kurien, owner of Ballinoor Estate in India. The green coffee has been processed by a method virtually never used in India for Arabica coffees. The method is the "dry" method of drying the green beans inside of the Cherry in which they have developed. Rare, delicious, uncanny taste sensations result and produce a flavor profile that we treasure and delight in.

Typically, green coffee beans are, immediately upon harvest, extracted from the delicious red fruit in which it develops. However, the "natural" method of processing allows the beans to remain in, and become imbued with, the sweetness and perfume of the luscious fruit, producing a coffee with unparalleled body and exotic aromas.

Cherry Karma is grown among spice plants beneath exotic shade trees on the miraculously beautiful Balanoor Estate in the Western Ghat Mountains within an International Biosphere Preserve in the state of Karnataka in South India. Share this elixir with others for a fabulous state of mutual ecstatic delirium and organoleptic peak-experience.



Flavor Description:
Cherry Karma is one of the most voluble, eloquent and inspired coffees ever to hit the cooling tray of our roasters.

As this enchanted elixir kisses your lips, its finish presents top notes of a sweet, slight-citrusy and fine acidity which seamlessly gives way to a Black Forest Cake-like orchestration of cherry, chocolate and walnut sensations and bearing a clean silky mouthfeel and non-overbearing body. We hope you enjoy this “cake walk through a gastronomic paradise” as much as we do. Don’t be shy—order a couple of bags right away; Cherry Karma is ephemeral, only obtainable from Raven’s Brew Coffee, and is just very limited in supply.

PS: For those of you with espresso machines: This coffee is better suited to the espresso method than any other single origin coffee that we have ever experienced. If all coffees were as deep, dimensional and almost erotically sensual and satisfying as Cherry Karma, people would sell their cars to purchase the best espresso machines, and there would be no war. Medium Roast.
