From the producer

Ajoy and Pranoy Thipaiah are a father-and-son team managing Kerehaklu Estate, where biodiversity, soil health and post-harvest experimentation guide production.

From the roaster

We are delighted to offer this coffee from India for the first time. Produced and processed by a father and son duo, this coffee captures what we love about Indian coffee.

Why this coffee is noteworthy

This lot pairs a precisely identified Indian cultivar with Kerehaklu’s slow, staged drying and biodiversity-focused estate management.

The honest process breakdown

WHAT DID THEY ACTUALLY
DO TO THIS COFFEE?

01
Rest in cherry

Picked cherry rests overnight.

02
Pulp and wash

The coffee is pulped the next morning and washed in the estate’s sequentially washed method.

03
Stage the drying

Coffee dries two days on raised beds, then 12 to 15 days in polymer houses before about 45 days of curing.

What was added?

Water is used during washing.

What wasn't added?

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

Why it matters

Slower staged drying is intended to preserve complexity while the washed method keeps the cup clear.

What you might taste

Verve publishes cranberry, orange peel and white sugar.

    The author brewed this coffee as their first home-recorded entry, noting it was their first experience with an Indian single-origin coffee. They did not provide detailed tasting notes, focusing instead on establishing their brewing system.

Same coffee, different roaster?

Other roasters, same producer.

These coffees come from the same producer or farm, offered by other roasters. We never automatically declare two offerings the exact same coffee — a match requires lot, harvest and traceability details. Even a true same-lot pair can taste different: roast approach, freshness, rest and brewing all reshape the cup.
