Our Taj Mahal – Single Origin India captures the bold spirit and timeless beauty of India’s coffee heritage.

Taj Mahal presents a rich, full-bodied cup that is both bold and refined. Expect intense dark chocolate and toasted nut flavours layered with delicate hints of spice, evoking the vibrant aromas of India’s bustling markets. Despite its powerful character, this coffee offers a surprisingly smooth mouthfeel, with mild bitterness and a clean, creamy finish.
Grown at unusually high altitudes for Robusta and carefully washed to enhance clarity, this coffee delivers a heavy, velvety body and a long-lasting, luxurious crema, making it a perfect choice for espresso lovers seeking richness without excessive harshness.
Roasted to a medium to medium-dark profile, Taj Mahal strikes the ideal balance between its bold flavour structure and underlying sweetness, making it equally enjoyable as a standalone espresso or a robust base for milk coffees like lattes and cappuccinos.
