All our coffee is grown under a unique 3-tier shade system.
Fully mature ripe cherries are individually hand picked by our expert pickers.
They are then visually sorted again to remove any unripe cherries.
The ripe cherries are then processed in the wet mill to remove husk and mucilage.
The wet beans are then moved to raised trays to drive out surface moisture.
After a day the beans are evenly spread on patio bricks.
The beans are raked at regular intervals. It takes seven days of sun drying to get the desired moisture level of 11%.
Now the beans are filled in hessian bags and moved into well-ventilated godowns.
Here the beans are allowed to mature for forty days to bring out their
whole range of flavours and aroma.
When you choose our single-origin coffee, you know exactly where your favourite beverage is from. It is a top-quality pure coffee, grown in India’s finest coffee region, nurtured by passionate horticulturists to deliver a product with the distinct flavours and characteristics unique to Melkodige Estate.
