Roasted to a medium level to keep the bright, banana-forward fruit of the ferment intact — dark enough for sweetness and body, light enough to preserve the fruit.

Processing: Carbonic Maceration (banana co-ferment)

This coffee is made with carbonic maceration — whole cherries fermented in a carbon-dioxide-rich, oxygen-free environment, borrowed from winemaking. The result is clean, vivid, candied fruit and a distinctive, expressive cup.

Frequently asked questions

What does Banana Fermented coffee taste like?
Bright, sweet, and tropical — ripe banana, dried fruit, and brown sugar, with a smooth body and a long, sweet finish.
Is Banana Fermented actually flavoured with banana?
It is co-fermented with banana during carbonic maceration, so the fruit character is woven in through fermentation rather than added as a flavouring afterwards.
How is Banana Fermented processed?
By carbonic maceration — whole cherries fermented with banana in a carbon-dioxide-rich, oxygen-free environment — then washed and dried.
What is the best way to brew Banana Fermented?
A clean filter method like pour over or AeroPress shows off its fruit best. It also makes an excellent, juicy cold brew.
Should I drink Banana Fermented black or with milk?
Black, at least at first — milk covers the delicate banana and fruit notes that make this coffee special.
What roast level is Banana Fermented?
A medium roast, chosen to keep the fruit bright while giving enough sweetness and body.
Is Banana Fermented good for beginners?
Yes — it is one of the most approachable fermented coffees, sweet and fruity rather than funky or challenging.
Where is Banana Fermented grown?
On estates in the Coorg and Chikkamagaluru belt of Karnataka, India, at around 3,100 ft.
