Coffee + milk India 60%

Two unique projects connect this palette. We roasted cocoa and coffee from the South Indies in our workshop. Two plantations established in a forest environment.

GoGround cacao :

In the Kerala region, Luca Beltrami from Italy and Ellen Taerwe from Belgium have set up a social enterprise they have named GoGround to support 200 small, local cocoa farmers in the Malabar Forest region. Through careful post-harvest practices, they offer consistent quality and traceability. Dry cocoa is packed in 30 kg bags to reduce pressure and injury to employees when moving and loading. Farmers in the region typically grow cocoa as well as coconut and betel trees. Their cocoa is grown organically with fruity and spicy notes.

Kaad Kaapi is a wonderful collective of producers in the Chikmagalur and Coorg districts of Karnataka. It is a small group of coffee growers with a common goal of rigorous environmental protection––despite a wide array of backgrounds, ages and even religions. They are a brotherhood (and one sister!) bound by their foresight and knowing that without a concerted effort to preserve the natural environment, flora & fauna, we are on a fast track to a world that is an increasingly challenging place in which one can thrive. Conservation has become an act of communal stewardship.

Originally practiced in Ethiopia, forest coffee is a different form of coffee cultivation––where the life of the forest comes first, and coffee cultivation comes second. It means the migration of native Elephants found in the Western Ghats are prioritized, even if it costs them trampling on a few coffee trees along the way.
