Offers
Shop collection Shop collectionEverything currently discounted, in one place. We do not run permanent sales — a roastery that is always 20 per cent off has simply priced itself wrong — so this page is empty more often than it is full.
What lands here is usually one of three things: a lot approaching the end of its window and better drunk now than held, a bundle that is cheaper than buying the bags separately, or a seasonal offer around Diwali and the festive weeks. Everything is roasted to order like the rest of the range, and the roast date goes on the bag either way. A discounted bag is not an old bag.
If you want the reliable saving rather than the occasional one, a prepaid subscription is the better price per bag, permanently. Or build a Pick Your Five and taste five lots for less than five full bags.

Omni Roast Coffee
Shop collection Shop collectionAn omni roast is developed to work as both filter and espresso. One bag, two methods. The roast sits in the middle: taken far enough that the acidity will not tear a shot apart, stopped early enough that sweetness and fruit still show up in a pour-over.
What it costs is the edges. A dedicated filter roast of the same lot would taste brighter and more separated. A dedicated espresso roast would be rounder and thicker in milk. An omni gives up a little of both. What it buys is one bag instead of two, and a coffee that does not fall apart when you change your mind at seven in the morning.
Dial espresso first: 18g in, 36-40g out, 28-32 seconds. Then take the same beans two clicks coarser than your usual filter grind and brew at 1:16, 93°C. Omni roasts are more developed than filter roasts, so they extract faster. Your standard filter grind will overshoot and taste hollow. Start at our grind size chart and move from there.

Tamil Nadu Coffee
Shop collection Shop collectionTamil Nadu coffee beans from the Shevaroy hills and other southern growing regions, roasted to order in New Delhi. In stock now: OBSIDIAN, a light roast with fruity, chocolatey notes. Tamil Nadu coffee tends to be firmer and more structured than Karnataka's, and takes a fine grind well for the South Indian steel filter. Whole bean or ground for your brewer, roast date on every bag, free shipping across India.
More on Tamil Nadu coffee
Tamil Nadu's coffee comes off the Shevaroy hills around Yercaud, the Nilgiris and the Anamalais. Higher and drier than most of the Karnataka belt, with a different monsoon pattern behind it. The cups tend to be firmer and more structured, cocoa and dark sugar rather than obvious fruit, and there is a long local habit of growing robusta on the lower slopes alongside arabica higher up.
This is also the coffee the South Indian steel filter was built around, and that is worth reading as a brewing instruction rather than a piece of heritage. These lots take a fine grind and a long, gravity-fed contact time better than most. If you are brewing them as pour over instead, drop the dose slightly. The same beans that give a dense, sweet decoction can come out heavy and flat through a V60 at a standard 1:16, and the fix is less coffee rather than a coarser grind.
More on the growing region is on our Yercaud coffee page.

Vietnamese Vault
Shop collection Shop collectionVietnam is the second largest coffee producer in the world, and almost none of what it grows reaches Indian shelves as anything other than instant-grade robusta. This is the other Vietnam: high-altitude smallholder plots in the Central Highlands, heirloom Moka and Typica arabica, jungle-dried naturals, and robusta processed with the care usually reserved for arabica.
They drink differently from Indian coffee. Vietnamese naturals tend to run darker-fruited and more chocolate-forward, with a density that suits a phin filter or a moka pot better than a V60. If you are using a phin, set the press disc flat and do not tamp it hard. Bloom with about 20ml for thirty seconds, fill the rest, and let it drip for four to five minutes; forcing the disc down is what makes phin coffee taste burnt. Condensed milk is traditional and it works, but drink a cup black first so you know what you actually have.
Small batches, packed fresh, limited quantities and no restocks. The rest of what we roast is in all coffees.

Washed Coffee
Shop collection Shop collectionWashed coffee beans: clean, bright and clear about where they grew, best brewed as pour over or AeroPress. Roasted to order in New Delhi from named Indian estates. Start with RATNAGIRI WASHED CUT (clean, bright, caramel-sweet), CULTURED 42 (citrus, floral) or VYOM 01 (clean, fruity, caramel-sweet). Whole bean or ground for your brewer, roast date on every bag, free shipping across India.
How to brew washed coffee
Washed coffee has the fruit stripped off before drying, usually with a fermentation step to loosen the mucilage and then a wash to carry it away. Nothing from the pulp gets to travel into the seed. What is left in the cup is the variety, the soil and the altitude, with a cleaner acidity and a lighter body than a natural. This is the process that makes a coffee taste like where it grew rather than what happened to it after picking.
Because there is less sugar to hide behind, washed lots expose brewing errors immediately. Use filtered water. Hardness matters more here than with any other process, and hard tap water will flatten a good washed Chikmagalur into cardboard. Aim for 92 to 94C and a medium-fine grind on pour over. If the cup tastes sour, it is under-extracted rather than acidic. Those are two different things, and the fix is a finer grind, not a different bean.
Estate profiles and the regions behind them are in Indian coffee estates.
