Indian coffee is almost entirely shade-grown, which is unusual globally and matters more than most people realise. Under a canopy the cherry ripens slower, sugars develop further, and the surrounding forest stays intact — the same estates carry pepper vines, cardamom and birdlife that a sun plantation simply erases.

This lot comes off a family estate above Chikmagalur. We roast it medium — dropped just past first crack — so it works in a French press, a moka pot, a pour-over or a South Indian filter without arguing with any of them.

Every tin carries a roast date, not a best-before. Buy it close to the date and grind it when you drink it.

100% arabica, single estate.

Third order and counting

What convinced me was the lab report. I looked up my batch number expecting a generic PDF and got an actual NABL report with my batch on it. That is the first time an Indian food brand has done that for me.

What the same kitchen usually buys.

Chosen because they actually work alongside the chikmagalur shade-grown arabica — not because an algorithm said so.
