ORANGE OCTAVE

Orange. Milk Chocolate. Cashew.
India — Arabica × Robusta | Washed & Honey components | Medium Roast | Archive Series

Bright. Silky. Comforting.
This cup opens with a citrus hello, then melts into milk-chocolate warmth and cashew cream.

Archive | Orange Octave is our ode to balance — bright, washed Arabica notes lifted with citrus, layered over a plush Honey Robusta Kaapi Royal cocoa-cashew body. First sip is orange zest; the mid-palate rounds into chocolate; the finish lingers soft and nutty. Built for everyday ease without losing composure.

We roast this blend intentionally medium to preserve its citrus clarity while shaping a smooth, milk-friendly body. The result is dependable and versatile — comfort with a refined edge.

This is not your average house blend.
It’s India, curated — harmony, sweetness, and repeat-worthy cups.
