Natural Process
In the natural coffee process, the full cherry is dried prior to de-pulping.
Natural processed coffee will taste fruitier and have a heavier body as the drying coffee beans absorb some of the sugars from the surrounding fruit.
Honey Process
Pulp-sundried or honey coffee is an eco-friendly process as it generates very little solid and liquid waste.
Here, the coffee skin is removed and the coffee is de-pulped to varying degrees but no mucilage is removed and it is sent to the drying yard.
Washed Process
The coffee cherries go through the Columbian Penagos pulper that removes the sticky mucilage surrounding the coffee seeds, and the coffee is left to ferment for 18-24 hours.
Then the coffee is washed in fresh water and sent to the drying yard — removing the cherry prior to drying allows the bean’s intrinsic flavours to really shine.

Meet the Farmers,
Vanthara Gangadha and Bhimala
Vanthala Bhimala and Gangadhar have a growing family of two sons and three daughters. Coffee has been the primary source of their income, through which they’ve consistently provided for the education and marriage of their kids.
The diverse fruit and forest trees on their plot not only lend our coffee unique character, but make for an alternative livelihood – think long pepper, paddy, millets and even mango.
