Introducing our second iteration of Tidal Wave! This marks our second year working with the talented father-son duo, Ajoy and Pranoy Thipaiah of Kherehaklu Estate, one of India’s most esteemed coffee farms.

This year, we’ve blended three of their latest lots to shape a creamy, layered profile with notes of black tea, dried fruit, and molasses. Each lot brings its own character to the blend, and together they create a cup that’s smooth, sweet, and full-bodied.
