The Craftsmanship

• Traditional Shade-Grown Method: Cultivated under the natural multi-tier forest canopy of the Western Ghats in Karnataka. This traditional environment protects the cherries from harsh direct sunlight, allowing for a slower maturation that develops a denser bean with a higher concentration of essential oils.

• Manual Sun-Drying: The craft lies in the patient, natural dehydration of the whole coffee cherry. Spread across clean brick patios, the cherries are manually raked and turned throughout the day. This labour-intensive process ensures uniform drying and prevents the development of "off-flavours," preserving the clean, bold character of the bean.

• Precision Sifting & Sorting: After the dried cherries are mechanically de-husked, the green beans undergo precision sifting to isolate the Screen 15 profile. This is followed by rigorous manual hand-sorting, where our skilled artisans remove any defective beans. This high level of human intervention ensures a clean, reliable, and consistent export product.
