The history of Araku Valley Coffee traces back to the indigenous tribes of the Eastern Ghats, who have cultivated coffee in the region for generations. Positioned at elevations between 900 to 1,300 meters above sea level, the fertile soils and moderate climate of Araku Valley create optimal conditions for coffee growth. Sheltered by native trees, the coffee cherries mature slowly, developing distinct flavors and aromas unique to the region.
Locally grown by farmers, Araku Valley Coffee undergoes meticulous handpicking, with only the ripest cherries selected for processing. Following careful sorting, washing, and sun-drying, the cherries retain their natural flavors, avoiding the mass production and mechanical processing typical of industrial methods. Instead, traditional techniques prioritize quality and sustainability.
Araku Valley Coffee is renowned for its robust, well-rounded flavor and velvety, lingering aftertaste. Each cup offers a distinctive blend of tasting notes, ranging from fruity and floral to nutty and chocolatey, influenced by altitude, soil quality, and processing techniques. Available in various roasts, including light, medium, and dark, the coffee caters to diverse preferences.
