At Kerehaklu Estate, Pranoy Thipaiah continues to refine his expertise with cultured fermentations, using selected starters to guide flavor development with precision and consistency. These cultures enhance aromatic clarity, shape acidity, and unlock subtle floral complexity that rewards brewers who enjoy dialing in extraction and exploring nuance. Controlled polyhouse drying further elevates quality by protecting the coffee from environmental fluctuations and ensuring slow, even moisture reduction for greater stability and sweetness. Our light filter roast was designed to let these attributes shine — allowing florals to sparkle alongside bright acidity, while a clean medium mouthfeel preserves clarity and definition in the cup.

The cup opens with dry aromatics of honeyed raisins and stone fruit, led by an expressive honeysuckle lift. As the brew opens up, soft tea rose notes emerge on the wet aroma. On the palate, candied orange takes center stage, followed by subtle green tea blossom in a clean, quick finish. Bright acidity drives the cup forward, balanced by a medium body and moderate sweetness, while a gentle bitterness adds structure and complements the floral character without overpowering it.

At 3,800 ft, Sarchimor cherries underwent a cultured washed process designed for precision and consistency. A selected microbial starter was introduced during a 37-hour fermentation in sealed drums under anoxic conditions, allowing controlled sugar conversion and targeted flavor development while minimizing unwanted microbial activity. This approach enhances clarity, aromatic intensity, and repeatability across batches. After fermentation and washing, the coffee was dried slowly for 19 days inside a polyhouse. This protected drying environment stabilized temperature and airflow, reduced weather-related variability, and enabled uniform moisture reduction, preserving sweetness, structure, and delicate aromatic compounds in the final cup.

About the farm

Kerehaklu Estate, situated in the serene Western Ghats, serves as a tranquil retreat enveloped by diverse flora and fauna. Spanning 250 acres and just a short drive from Aldur village, this estate offers an opportunity to unwind and reconnect with nature. The estate’s origins date back to the 11th-12th century Kannada language, where ‘Kerehaklu’ translates to ‘the shelter by the lake.’

Ajoy, a fourth-generation coffee producer, combines traditional and modern agricultural techniques to cultivate and conserve this lush plantation. Pranoy, with a background in biology, focuses on enhancing post-harvest coffee processes and promoting the Western Ghats’ biodiversity, while Kivi, the estate’s adventurous beagle, accompanies Pranoy to explore the grounds.

Kerehaklu has been producing coffee since 1953, with a commitment to preserving the land’s biodiversity. The estate produces Arabica, Canephora, Liberica, and Excelsa varieties, using innovative processing methods to push sensory boundaries. With an average altitude of 3750 feet and significant rainfall, Kerehaklu is dedicated to maintaining ecological balance while crafting unique, high-quality coffees enjoyed worldwide.
