Araku Coffee – A Cup with a Story

About Araku Coffee

Araku Coffee is a premium single-origin coffee grown in the breathtaking Araku Valley of Andhra Pradesh, India. Cultivated by small tribal farmers dedicated to regenerative agriculture, this coffee is a testament to sustainability, quality, and tradition.

The Farmers Behind the Coffee

Pangi Budhranna and her husband Simalu, a dedicated farming couple from the small village of Gummaguda, have been at the heart of Araku Coffee’s success. With no traditional knowledge of coffee cultivation, they embraced sustainable farming techniques and transformed their small plot into a thriving coffee farm. Their passion and commitment to organic, high-quality coffee have made them respected leaders in their farming community.

Ethically Grown, Sustainably Produced

The farmers carefully nurture each coffee plant using organic methods, ensuring that every bean is grown with respect for the land and the community. This dedication to ethical farming results in a coffee that is not only delicious but also contributes positively to the environment.
