Honey, nectarine and walnut from House of Kendal's Liberica in Bagan, Batu Pahat. Honey processed and slow dried under a greenhouse for two to three weeks.
Nectarine and peach through the middle. Acidity sits at 2 out of 10, with a full, rounded body.
Bagan is a coastal locality in Batu Pahat, a few degrees above the equator, on clay soil with a peat topsoil less than 15 metres above sea level.
House of Kendal has been reviving Liberica farms here that were largely abandoned for oil palm in the 1980s. The skin comes off at picking and the beans dry slowly in their sticky parchment under a greenhouse.

Batu PahatJohor · 10 maslRoasted to order in Kuala Lumpur, and the bag leaves us within 24 hours of roasting.
It reaches you a few days later, just before the day 7 to 30 window when coffee tastes its best. The whole window is yours.
Best for espresso and filter. Grind just before you brew.
One-time bags, whole bean. Honest advice: a kilo suits a household or two cups a day. One cup a day? Buy a smaller bag more often, so every bag is inside its window.
Your bag is roasted to order and leaves us within 24 hours of roasting. Shipping is RM7 in Peninsular Malaysia (free from RM80), RM10 to Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan (free from RM150) and RM15 to Singapore (free from RM200).
The skin comes off, but some of the sticky fruit layer stays on the bean while it dries. It sits between washed and natural: rounder and sweeter than washed, cleaner than natural.
Not this one. Acidity sits at 2 out of 10, so it drinks smooth black and holds up in milk.
It is the day your coffee was roasted. Coffee tastes its best from about day 7 to day 30 after that date, and your bag arrives a few days in, before the window opens.
Tell us and we'll replace it free, no questions asked.
Yes. This lot is sold as whole beans only, so grind just before you brew for the fullest cup.
P.S. A supermarket bag keeps getting older on its shelf. This one is roasted for your order and the date is printed on it: RM45 for about 10 cups, from House of Kendal's farms in Johor, replaced free if it isn't right.
