Komala Washed
$21.00 – $63.00
Suitable for: Espresso, Filter
Brewer’s note: When properly brewed, it tastes like Blackforest cake! On the filter, we use 1:14 brew ratio. At the cafes, we pull a ristretto (18g in, 30g out) and top it off with steamed milk. Yummy!

Origin
Komala estate, owned by Shyam Ponnappa, stands at 937 meters elevation in a prime northern zone, ideal for Arabica and Robusta coffee. With slopes of 5 – 10 degrees, it preserves soil and moisture naturally. Part of the Luckery since the 1930s, it hosts Arabica coffee and Pepper under shade trees, fostering biodiversity. Shyam, leveraging generations of expertise, transitioned to high-yield Robusta since 2017 amid rising costs. A skilled team handpicks and processes ripe berries with new equipment installed in 2014, enhancing efficiency and quality. Emphasizing sustainability, the estate ensures a lasting coffee legacy through environmental, social, and economic practices.
Psst! We also have unroasted beans for single origin coffee.

Moving Beyond Foreword
More than coffee, “Foreword” is an introduction to a book, typically written by someone else other than the author. The book of inclusivity can’t be written by us alone; we invite you to join us in this very journey.
