The story

The Thipaiah family has run Kerehaklu since 1953. The estate borders the Bhadra Tiger Reserve and maintains a native canopy that includes fig, jackfruit and red cedar.

Challenges

One documented challenge for the farm is the early ripening of certain coffee varieties, which results in a very short window between flowering and the harvest of red cherries.

Innovations

For Verve’s lot, cherry rested overnight before pulping and washing, dried two days on raised beds, then 12 to 15 days in polymer houses before about 45 days of curing.

Published coffees linked to this farm

For blends, a farm may be named for one documented component without growing the entire coffee. These catalog relationships do not independently verify every lot, harvest or producer. See individual coffee profiles for traceability evidence.

Research sources & verification

These source links were recorded for this farm profile. They document its research trail; a linked source is not, by itself, confirmation of every farm, producer, coffee lot or photo identity.
