Vanilla doesn’t just grow... it needs love. One flower at a time.

Did you know that outside of its native home (Mexico), vanilla orchids don’t have natural pollinators like the Melipona bee. If you plan on cultivating vanilla beans, you have to play matchmaker yourself — with your hands, eyes, and a lot of patience.

Timing is Everything
⏳Vanilla flowers bloom just for a single day, usually early morning.
- If not hand pollinated within 8–12 hours, the flower will wilt and drop.

Tips for Beginners:
🌸Start small: Try with a few vines and get comfortable with the process.
☀️Grow in warm, humid environments (ideally above 60% humidity).
🌸Vanilla is an orchid. It loves indirect sunlight and climbing support (like trees, poles, or coffee plants).

Intercropping Benefits
☀️Vanilla loves filtered light, and coffee plants offer the perfect dappled shade. The two thrive together — one climbing, one grounding.

☀️Intercropping brings balance. More plant variety = richer soil, fewer pests, and a healthier ecosystem.

Roasting Days!

Swipe right for some Roasting Science 🧬 ☕️

Temperature and time taken for roasting are key factors in determining your coffee flavour profiles

While we have wrapped up our post harvest season, roasting now takes the stage. Goes without saying that the nuances of bean science only gets more intriguing, lots of Learning here too!

Season of Red

Pigments called anthocyanins and carotenoids (like lycopene) which reflect red wavelengths of light when present in the fruit’s skin give it the colour red. Think cherry, tomatoes, coffee, strawberries 🍓 🍒

These pigments are produced by the plant as it ripens, acting as a visual signal to animals to eat the fruit and disperse its seeds

Have you eaten a ripe coffee cherry’s skin?
If you’re touring an estate do try one! You will be surprised by how it tastes as a fruit ;)

Signature Brew - Twilight Coffee

Harvest Month Updates

First Lot of Arabica ( Chandragiri) - Pulped and Washed

Estate : Palace Field, Haleri, Coorg

“Puthari, Kodagu’s annual harvest celebration, is the most important festival across Kodagu, a landmark in the agricultural and social calendar. As the name indicates— pud (new) ari (rice)—it welcomes the new rice crop in late November or early December with widespread community celebrations, gatherings, dances and songs.”

- Source : https://thevanishingkodavas.com/category/culture/festivals/puthari/

For a cultural deep dive into the mystical land of Kodagu, highly recommend illustrious author and anthropologist Kaveri Ponappa’s @kaverikamb book, The Vanishing Kodavas.

There’s a treasure trove of meticulously curated information that springs forth from boundless curiosity of a polymath. Something that prevails in all of her writing.

To know nostalgia, we need cultural and social custodians that ensure it never effaces. @kaverikamb thank you!

Work of love getting its moment of appreciation :)

COFFEE ALMOND CAKE 👩‍🍳☀️❤️

Swipe along to see who’s enjoying the winter Sun along with our coffee ☀️🌸

Hypnale hypnale ( Hump nosed viper) is active during early morning and night.

🌱Habitat - leaf litter and thick bushes, stream side

🐍Behaviour - Although it is a slow mover, it is capable of fast strikes. Irritable disposition, will vibrate it’s tail when threatened

🩸Highly Venomous

The last two nights we did have heavy rains as an effect of cyclone Fengal, the weather was in stark contrast to what winter looks like here. One could wake up and think the calendar wound back to July.

Luckily, the sun came out this evening and warmed up are moods, we caught up for some planning and prep for December and brewed a delicious cup @sara.alkhooori lovely coffee and loved😍your packaging too!

Sure enough, the Sun too wanted a touch of your coffee magic after two days of gloom ☀️ thank you and more power to you 💪🙌 @sara.alkhooori

October was all about plant care with weeding and manuring work
November - wrapping up pruning and clearing spaces to make do for all the movement to happen for cherry picking

Harvest Season is here and the whole town can sense a certain urgency in everyone’s footsteps. Jeeps are bustling around at the crack of dawn and trailing back home late evening. The signs are showing, only a matter of days before the whole coffee community here is going to be completely preoccupied with picking, carting, weighing and drying (processing) coffee cherries

The harvest season is equal parts exciting and arduous, praying the weather shines on our side!

Wishing all a Happy Harvest Season 24-25 🍀

Bringing those memories back ! 🎼

Remember, when the October break came to an end and we had to return home from Avva’s (grandma) house… 👵🏻

We would have 10x more bags than what we packed for the holidays. Every corner and pocket stuffed with old Shakti paper made into packaging for all the bottles of honey, jams, ghee, pickles etc to take back home, to gift neighbors, friends, cousins and relatives, sometimes a carton full for the family weddings … 🎁

Those bottles may still be around, holding much more stories of being passed on from what started of as Avva’s gifts made from her backyard.

It’s the same feeling we get when we bottle these Jars of Love ❤️ 💛

You could have the mood for any colour and we will paint your drink to your mood !
We love making you smile with our consciously curated menu 🤓🤩
