XX2 - Pranoy Thipaiah

About This Coffee

This wildcard release comes to us from Pranoy Thipaiah of Kerehaklu plantation in India; all profits from the sale of this coffee will be returned to Pranoy and Kerehaklu. This 800g nanolot is the result of Pranoy's relentless experimentation in pursuit of improvements in both quality and efficiency, and was fermented using Aspergillus luchuensis—koji traditionally used to make shochu and sake—and a refined version of the "Koji Supernatural" protocol I devised for Vergel Estate and Kaapo Paavolainen in 2021. This coffee is atypical for Aviary stylistically, blurring the lines between fruity and funky with a round mouthfeel and notes of strawberry, blackberry wine and shiro miso
