More about the Coffee

Bird’s Eye Chilli, locally known in Coorg as Parangi Malu, is one of the most distinctive native spices of the Western Ghats. These small yet intensely flavourful chillies are traditionally grown in the forested landscapes of Coorg where the rich soil and humid climate create ideal conditions for developing their unique heat and aroma.

Sourced directly from small farmers across Coorg, these chillies are carefully hand-harvested and naturally sun-dried to preserve their colour, flavour, and potency. Known for their sharp heat and fruity undertones, Bird’s Eye Chillies are widely used in traditional Coorg cuisine and regional spice blends.

Every batch reflects the rich spice heritage of Coorg and the traditional farming practices followed by local growers.
