From the producer

Shreedev and Sushmita Hulikere manage their family’s 110-year-old estate of more than 100 hectares, supported by more than 100 year-round workers.

From the roaster

Complex and deep sweetness shine in our first-ever offering from Hulikere Estate. Bright citrusy notes of clementine weave throughout the cup, balanced by a grilled pineapple sweetness.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

Verve’s first Hulikere offering connects a precisely identified Indian cultivar with same-day estate processing and documented wastewater treatment using beneficial microbes.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Harvest and sort

Coffee is hand-picked and processed the same day, with two stages of flotation and removal.

02
Pulp and ferment

Cherries pass through disc pulpers, then ferment in roof-covered open tanks.

03
Wash and dry

The coffee is washed and dried on clay brick-lined yards.

What was added?

Water is used for flotation, fermentation and washing.

What wasn't added?

No fruit, spices, flavorings or post-roast additives are disclosed.

Why it matters

Same-day processing and careful sorting support clarity, while the traditional washed method emphasizes the cultivar and estate.

What you might taste

Verve publishes clementine, honey and grilled pineapple.
