Single-origin washed arabica from the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve in Tamil Nadu, India. Grown by indigenous Irula and Kurumba farmers, this coffee is intercropped with jackfruit, citrus, banana, and native spices.

Behind the Name: We’ve translated Kith & Kin to Suttram Naṭpum in Tamil, the primary language of Tamil Nadu. Kith & Kin embodies the spirit of togetherness, warmth, and deep-rooted connections that define both the coffee culture of Tamil Nadu and the bond between indigenous farmers and the land they cultivate.

Name Breakdown in Tamil:

Suttram (சுற்றம்) = Relatives, extended family, community
Naṭpu (நட்பு) = Friendship
-um (ும்) = And

The indigenous farmers who cultivate this coffee practice intercropping, growing coffee under the shade of native trees alongside spices like pepper and cardamom. This centuries-old method not only preserves biodiversity but also nurtures a harmonious balance between the soil, crops, and surrounding forests.
