At Nepal Arabica Coffee, we pride ourselves on offering coffee that is more than just a drink—it’s an experience. Each bean is carefully nurtured and processed to deliver a cup that is rich, complex, and reflective of Nepal’s unique terroir. Here’s what makes our specialty coffee truly exceptional:
100% Arabica
Our coffee is exclusively 100% Arabica, known for its superior flavor and complexity compared to the more common Robusta. Arabica beans are celebrated for their delicate and nuanced profiles, featuring sweet, fruity, and floral notes. The higher altitude and cooler temperatures of Nepal’s coffee-growing regions provide ideal conditions for these beans, enhancing their natural characteristics and producing a cup with balanced acidity and a smooth, rich body.
Specialty Score of 82+
In the world of coffee, a Specialty Score of 82+ signifies exceptional quality. This rating, determined by expert tasters, ensures that our coffee meets rigorous standards for flavor, aroma, and overall excellence. Only the top 10% of the world’s coffee qualifies as specialty grade, and our beans consistently score above 82, guaranteeing an extraordinary coffee experience with every sip.
Wet Processed and Natural Fermentation
Our coffee undergoes meticulous wet processing, a method that accentuates the beans’ inherent qualities by removing the fruit’s mucilage before drying. This process preserves the bean’s clarity and brightness, contributing to a clean and vibrant cup. Additionally, we embrace natural fermentation, allowing the beans to develop complex flavors and a distinct character. Post fermentation, the beans are sun-dried, which not only enhances their sweetness but also ensures they are dried evenly and naturally.
A+ Grade Beans
We grade our coffee beans meticulously, ensuring that only the finest A+ grade beans make it into your cup. This grade signifies that our beans are of the highest quality, with optimal size, density, and minimal defects. By focusing on A+ grade beans, we guarantee that you receive coffee that is consistently excellent in both flavor and appearance.
Shade Grown
Our coffee plants flourish under the protective canopy of native trees, a practice known as shade-growing. This method mimics the natural forest environment, allowing the beans to mature slowly and develop a richer, more nuanced flavor. Shade-growing also supports biodiversity, providing habitats for wildlife and contributing to the health and sustainability of the ecosystem.
Organic and Hand Sorted
We are committed to organic farming practices, avoiding synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. This not only preserves the purity of our coffee but also protects the health of our environment and communities. Each bean is hand-sorted by our skilled farmers, who meticulously remove any defective or discolored beans. This attention to detail ensures that only the best beans make it to your cup, providing a consistently high-quality coffee experience.
Grown at High Altitudes (1300m and above)
Our coffee is grown at elevations of 1300 meters and above, where the cooler climate and thinner air create ideal growing conditions for Arabica beans. High-altitude coffee is renowned for its superior quality, characterized by a denser, harder bean that packs more flavor. The elevation allows the beans to develop slowly, resulting in a cup that is deeply flavorful with pronounced acidity and a unique, vibrant profile.
Every element of our coffee’s journey from the Himalayan slopes to your cup is carefully curated to ensure the highest quality and the most delightful drinking experience. Discover the unique flavors and stories of Nepal with each sip of our specialty coffee.
