Located in the Manjarabad growing district, Harley is a former British plantation that has been growing coffee since the 1860’s. Today, D.M. Purnesh grows both Arabica and award-winning premium Robusta. Harley also grows areca nut, cardamom, coca, pepper, rice, and vanilla in a polyculture setup that is typical for Indian coffee plantations. We source Arabica microlots along with some superb Kaapi Royale (washed Robusta) from this estate.
Purnesh’s family also owns Kalledevarapura Estate which his brother runs.
Our 2023 offerings from this farm include:
- [LIMITED AVAILABILITY] Harley Estate, Selection 9 variety. One of our favorite varieties. Selection 9 has long been one of the premier Indian cultivars. Very hard to find in North America as European and Australian roasters lock up much of what the best estates produce. This variety traces back to the Ethiopian Tafarikela bean and displays a fruitiness and acidity that is unusual for an Indian bean while still being recognizable as an Indian coffee. Cupping Notes: Orange, lemon, plum, mandarin, grape w/ chocolate, caramel.
