* Named after the 17th-century Sufi saint Baba Budan. Indian lore has it that he first discovered coffee in Yemen when on a hajj in 1670. He smuggled back seven raw beans from Yemen in his beard to introduce coffee to India, and planted the beans on the hilly slopes in the Chikmagalur district. The hill range was later named after him as the Baba Budangiri (Baba Budan Hills).

Clean, full-bodied, spicy, bold and dark. A great Indian brew!
This shade-grown estate coffee is grown in the Baba Budangiri* hills in the Western Ghats mountain range in southern India. It is close geographically to Yemen and Africa, both highly respected coffee growing locations. Indian coffee in general has a clean, creamy, nutty taste, often with spicy notes in darker roasts. The specific varietals grown on this estate come from India and Sulawesi in Indonesia, the latter of which give it that spicy finish.
We roast it dark, where it’s full-bodied, creamy, a little walnut and molasses, with spiciness in the back, all somewhat difficult to define but strong and good. There’s a lot going on here in this dark brew, and it’s quite adapted to espresso as well – great flavor and crema.
