A bright tropical lift, softened by tea-like elegance.

Tropical Twist is a coffee that opens quietly, then blooms with colour — delicate, juicy, and full of gentle movement. It begins with the refined aroma of Earl Grey, moves into ripe banana sweetness, and finishes with the bright citrus snap of blood orange.

Sourced from Orchardale Estate in the Shevaroy Hills of Tamil Nadu, this coffee comes from one of the higher-growing regions in the area, where elevations rise around 1,500 MASL. Orchardale is part of the MSP Coffee family — a multi-generational farming family whose roots in coffee, cardamom, and spices shaped their long relationship with the hills.

Naturally processed, this SLN9 & SLN795 lot carries a fruit-forward personality while still staying clean and composed. We roasted it light to preserve its aromatic lift, tropical sweetness, and tea-like clarity.

In the cup, Tropical Twist feels playful but polished — a filter coffee with brightness, softness, and a long, sweet finish.

It’s citrus. It’s comfort. It’s a morning that wakes up slowly.
