Filter Coffee.
Brewed in Tradition.

Slow-dripped decoction from hand-roasted Chikmagalur beans, poured the old way — from a height, with steam rising and chicory on the breath.

01

Brass Filter

Two-chamber decoction filter, hand-finished. Each cup begins with a slow, gravity-fed drip — never rushed.

02

Single Estate

Beans from the Bababudangiri slopes of Chikmagalur, roasted weekly in small batches to a deep, smoky finish.

03

Banana Leaf

Tiffin served the proper way — on washed leaf with sambar, three chutneys and a tumbler of kaapi on the side.

Our Bean

Roasted in small batches, every Sunday before dawn.

We work with a single family of growers on the Bababudangiri hills, where Indian coffee was first planted by Baba Budan in the 17th century. Our blend — 80% peaberry arabica, 20% chicory — is cup-tested twice before it reaches the filter.
