Reviews
Average rating
This is my favourite coffee. It is not as strong as others but that allows you to taste a host of wonderful flavours. It is added to most of the CR blends and i can see why!
Slightly unusual taste but very nice. An interesting one to try and very drinkable.
Great coffee. It’s the first Indian coffee I have had. Great taste and as mentioned elsewhere, tasting notes are spot on. I certainly will be ordering some more.
My first ever whole bean purchase. I'm far from an expert in coffee but this is the first 'fresh bean' I've ever purchased and I could actually taste the small nuance in the flavour profile having used an aeropress brewing technique. Will definitely be buying this again in the future!
I love the woodiness and smoothness of this coffee. There's enough body in it though to cope with cooked breakfast.

Europe: Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, Monaco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden.
How long will it take?
We do not work at weekends so the term working day means Monday to Friday. If you place an order on the weekend it will not be sent out until Monday.
All orders placed before 13:00hrs 'normally' go out the same day. We do not guarantee orders go out the same day as ordered.

UK Mail Next Day - using this service you can order up to 10kg (38 x 250g bags) will ensure your order gets to you the next working day once the order is despatched from the roastery.
If you use this service you maybe required to sign for the delivery unless you elect to take responsibility for loss if left in a safe place. You will receive an email update from UKMail with a one hour delivery window and using the consignment number you track your order.
How do we keep you updated as to the status of your order.
Once you have placed your order you will receive 2 status updates - they will be:
Order confirmation – this means we have received your order and the coffee is yet to be roasted.
Shipped confirmation – this means your order has left our roastery by your chosen method.
Do we meet our delivery deadlines?
We try our best to meet the delivery deadline quoted, but on the odd occasion a parcel can be delayed due to reasons that are out of our control.
Why don't we offer free postage?
Nothing is free in life. We know you all love free postage and sometimes we do offer it as part of a promotion, but it is our policy to charge for postage. We have considered offering free postage but the costs would have to be absorbed elsewhere by you the customer. We don’t hide our postage costs.

Please note: Royal Mail does not class an international shipment as lost or missing for 28 working days unfortunately we can not take any action until this time has passed. During that time we recommend that you ask your local sorting office / post office if they've tried to deliver (even if they haven't left a card) and ask your neighbours if your order has been left with them. You should also check that the delivery address you gave us is correct, this can be found on your shipping confirmation email. If your delivery still hasn't arrived after 14 working days and you have performed the above steps then please email us.

Additional Information
For us - coffees from India have a distinct originality that is normally hidden by many roasters within espresso blends rather than featuring as a single estate offering. Not by us though - we view India as a provider of some of the world's most valuable coffee profiles.
Cup profiles of quality come in the main from deeply forested mature coffee estates, such as this experiment with botanical variety and processing method to produce in our view a distinctive cup value capable of pleasing most purists.
With Ethiopian heritage in the varietal and processed by the unorthodox pulped natural method, in which the skins are removed but the sweet fruit pulp is allowed to remain on the beans as they dry.
The result here is restrained, elegant and delicate balance of aromatic wood, flowers and dark chocolate notes.
This estate (Sethuraman Estate) is located in the Chikmagalur district near the town of Magundi, on the Bhadra river and sits at an altitude of 2500 feet.
