Run by Ajoy and his son Pranoy, Kerehaklu is a 97-hectare farm tucked into the old-growth jungle of Chikmagalur. Coffee here grows under a tall canopy, alongside wild Liberica and Excelsa, rather than in the clear-cut landscapes that dominate much of the coffee world.
Pranoy brings a scientific eye and a restless curiosity to processing — experimenting, adjusting, keeping notes — since his first harvest in 2019. He isn’t afraid to question coffee’s history, its environmental footprint, or how it’s marketed. Ajoy, with decades of agronomy experience, balances that curiosity with deep knowledge of the land and its biodiversity.
The result: coffees that feel rooted in Indian terroir but break free of its clichés. Familiar yet unexpected.
We’re excited to share these lots from Kerehaklu — a farm that’s as thoughtful as it is timeless.
