ABOUT THE PRODCUER:

Kerehaklu Estate, is located in Chikmagalur, India and is run by Ajoy and Pranoy Thipaiah, a father and son team. The 97-hectare farm has a unique charm, blending a sense of timelessness with cutting-edge practices. Unlike the coffee fields found in much of the producing world, where clear-cutting of forest for high productivity has become the norm, at Kerehaklu coffee grows within dense, old-growth jungles.

Stepping into the coffee processing area, however, there is no mistaking the modern approach taken by Pranoy, who applies his undergraduate biology degree to push the boundaries of coffee processing and potential under the microscope

FERMENTATION:  "Blossom Culture" -inoculated washed

At Kerehaklu Estate, Pranoy isolates local microbes and cultures them. This enables Pranoy to control dominant microbes during fermentation while still preserving the estate’s ecological fingerprint.
