In short, the climate crisis… 

There were rare catastrophic weather events that ruined the 2024 Coffee growing seasons. A drought followed by a frost in Brazil in August and a drought followed by a flooding in Vietnam in October, reducing the total number of green beans available in the market.

The world coffee market is projected to have a short fall of 5 million bags in this year.

New batch of chicory coffee blend is available now on our shop!

In India, the traditional coffee recipe is known as “filter coffee” or just “kaapi”. and it’s always a blend of specialty Indian coffee and chicory root powder. 

The golden ratio of coffee to chicory is 80 to 20. It has been our family standard for five generations, and we think it brings the perfect balance of heavy, rich, velvety texture, and mouthfeel with long lasting flavor.

filter coffee can be brewed in a traditional, Indian coffee filter or a mocha pot. Add some milk and just a tiny bit of sugar. make sure to enjoy that coffee while it’s hot.

While roaming the streets of Bangalore, we stumbled upon this place called “hot coffee” near Vijay Nagar Metro station.

This was the most authentic South Indian Filter Coffee experience we had in a long time. The taste was on point. The chicory to coffee ratio was also on point. We have the same ratio of chicory to Coffee in our Chicory coffee blend the “estate secret”. 🤫 

Making this coffee at scale is quite remarkable and so we had to stop and ask a few questions to Mr. Sashi Kumar who was making this Coffee 500 times a day, with the same precision every time.

Specialty coffee scene has exploded in India since 2020. Before we head to the farms in Chikmagalur, we wanted to spend some time in the city of Bangalore checking out local cafés. We stumbled upon this cute Cafe called LEVISTA on church street just outside the Metro station.

They are serving specialty Indian coffee varieties like S9, both washed and anaerobic. The café is always crowded. We had a chance to speak with the Cafe manager and asked him what is driving the specialty coffee boom in India lately. he made a very curious observation. 

He said, after the pandemic, a lot of Indians, who lived overseas, returned to the homeland and realized they couldn’t find the specialty coffee shops. They started their own local roasting companies and coffee shops to serve specialty coffee. These cafés have attracted the attention of the youth, making specialty coffee the fastest growing segment in the Indian coffee industry.
