Located in the Chikmagalur growing district, Kerkeicoondah grows Arabica and award-winning premium Robusta, both of which are intercropped with pepper vines in a polyculture setup that is typical for Indian coffee estates. Yet another example of how to grow coffee in a way that is BOTH environmentally and economically sustainable.
One of the thing we love about this estate is their approach of continuous improvement. Even though they’ve always been a solid producer of S-795 variety beans, they’re still seeking new ways to improve both flavor and consistency.
In recent years, they’ve identified several promising special prep methods which they’ve scaled up to the benefit of the Plantation-A and -AB beans that we use for our larger lot offerings.
Jacob Mammen manages this farm. His family has grown coffee here for three generations. The Mammen family also owns Bettadakhan Estate.
