A limited lot from Melkodige Estate in Chikmagalur, MK Star is a specialty-grade anaerobic natural coffee that reflects precision, patience, and terroir.
Only fully ripe cherries are handpicked for this selection. After a careful flotation step to eliminate light or underdeveloped cherries, the best ones undergo an 80-hour anaerobic fermentation in sealed barrels. During this process, temperature and pH are rigorously monitored to ensure consistent flavor development. Post-fermentation, the cherries are shade-dried on raised beds for 15 days, allowing sugars to concentrate and complexity to build.
The resulting cup is light-bodied and vibrant, with bright citrus notes of grapefruit and sweet lime, complemented by the nutty warmth of pecan.

Precision Fermentation – Anaerobically processed for 80 hours under controlled pH and temperature
