Womens Co-operative "Supporting Coffee Communities"

We roast and blend coffees from various parts of the world. But some of our coffees come from our family’s Plantation in India. Giovanni Corbelli’s plantation in the Salem area of India is 6000 feet up in the mountains of Salem, and employs most the local villagers to process the coffee. They process the coffee using the dry method. This is Simplest of the processes using minimal machinery . The berries are sorted and cleaned by hand and then passed through a sieve, this is Known as “winnowing”. The beans are then laid out in the sun to dry and turned by hand.

After this The beans are extracted from the pulp “Hulled” hand sorted and graded. The appearance of the growing beans have given the style of bean the prefix of Indian Cherry coffee beans. We only import the highest quality beans Cherry Arabica, as the name implies it Originated from Arabia and Cherry robusta, a hardy variety originally discovered in the Congo near the end of the 19th century.
