More about the Coffee

Coorg Black Pepper is one of the most prized spices from the Western Ghats, known for its bold aroma, sharp heat, and rich flavour. Grown in the lush plantations of Coorg (Kodagu), these pepper vines naturally climb shade trees alongside coffee plants, benefiting from the cool climate, fertile soil, and misty mountain environment of the region.

Our pepper is sourced directly from smallholder farmers across Coorg, where it is traditionally hand-harvested and naturally sun-dried to preserve its natural oils, aroma, and pungency.

Coorg has long been known as the “Spice Garden of India”, and this pepper reflects the authentic flavour of spices grown in harmony with the forests of the Western Ghats.

Every batch captures the essence of Coorg’s spice heritage and the dedication of farmers who cultivate these vines using traditional methods.
