The coffee, the craft, how to use it.

The Coffee

Five years in, and it keeps getting better.

Over the last five years, Balanoor Plantations have consistently delivered some of the finest washed arabicas in the country. The Kents variety is found widely in Indian coffee, but the care Balanoor puts into each harvest is what makes theirs stand apart.

Rich milk chocolate, a subtle citrus acidity, and plum. Delicious black or with milk, as a filter or an espresso. A coffee that does everything well — and somehow keeps improving every year.
