Single Origin Coorg Coffee: Estate-Traceable Arabica, Roasted Fresh
Washed-process S795 Arabica grown at 1,000–1,300m in the Western Ghats. Citrus-bright with brown sugar sweetness — roasted weekly and shipped across India within days of roasting.
Quick Answer:
Our Single Origin Coorg is a washed-process S795 Arabica from a single estate in Kodagu, medium-roasted to highlight citrus and brown-sugar notes. It costs ₹379 for 250g, ships within days of roasting, and works well for pour-over, French press, and South Indian filter coffee.
Why Coorg Arabica Stands Out
Coorg's Western Ghats estates sit at altitudes ideal for slow-maturing Arabica cherries, which develop more complex sugars and acidity than lower-altitude growths. The region's shade-grown cultivation under native trees also moderates temperature swings, giving the beans a cleaner, brighter cup than many commercial Robusta-heavy blends found in supermarkets.
This lot is washed-process — cherries are pulped and fermented before drying, which produces a cleaner, more consistent flavor profile than natural-processed beans. Expect citrus acidity up front, settling into brown sugar sweetness with a light floral finish.

How to Brew It
| Method | Ratio | Grind | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Filter Coffee (South Indian) | 1:8 | Fine | Pairs well with decoction; balances the citrus brightness with milk. |
| Pour-Over | 1:16 | Medium-fine | Best showcase of the estate's floral and citrus notes. |
| French Press | 1:15 | Coarse | Fuller body, softens acidity slightly. |
Whole Bean vs Ground
We ship this as whole beans by default — grind just before brewing to preserve the citrus top notes, which fade fastest of all the flavor compounds. Ground coffee loses most of its aromatic complexity within 15 minutes of grinding. If you don't own a grinder, select "ground" at checkout and choose your brew method so we can grind to the right coarseness before shipping.
Storage Tips
Keep beans in an airtight container away from light and heat. Unopened, vacuum-sealed bags stay fresh for 4–6 weeks; once opened, use within 2–3 weeks for the best cup. Avoid refrigerating — condensation on the beans accelerates staling.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this coffee suitable for South Indian filter coffee?
Yes. The medium roast and washed process hold up well in a traditional filter/decoction setup, though the citrus notes come through more clearly in pour-over or French press.
How fresh is the coffee when it ships?
We roast this lot weekly and ship within 2–4 days of roasting, well within the peak flavor window.
Is this a single estate or a regional blend?
Single estate. We list the estate name and altitude on every bag for full traceability.
What's the difference between this and your 80:20 blend?
This is 100% Arabica from one estate, roasted lighter to highlight origin character. The 80:20 blend mixes in Robusta for more body and works better for strong, milk-forward filter coffee.
