Coffee for writers, roasted the week you order it.
We write between roasts too, and the cup beside the page matters more than we would like to admit. The first paragraph of the day is usually written while the kettle is still ticking.
This is coffee for that hour. Roasted in our kitchen after you order it, rested a day, and sent to you with the smell still in the bag.
A cup that stays out of the way
For a long morning at the desk, the light roast as a pour-over is gentle and clear, and it does not tire the palate by the third cup. For the evening pages, the medium roast in a French press is slower and rounder.
Tell us what you brew with and we will grind for it, or take the whole beans and grind by hand, which is its own kind of pause.
How the coffee reaches you
We buy green arabica from one small farm in the coffee hills of Karnataka, a few kilos at a time. We roast it at home on a small drum roaster, in batches of a few hundred grams. We roast your bag after you order it, so it leaves within days of the roast and not months.
You choose light, medium, or dark, or you tell us the notes you like and we roast toward them. You can have whole beans, or tell us your brewer and we will grind for it. A 250 g bag is ₹750 and a 500 g bag is ₹1,200, with free shipping in India.
Who you are buying from
We are a small roastery with one roaster in a home kitchen. There is no cafe and no warehouse. When you write to us about a grinder or a shot that came out sour, the person who roasted your bag writes back, and has made the same mistakes at the same counter.
Questions people ask
How long does delivery take?
We roast after you order, let the beans settle for a day, and hand the bag to the courier. Most cities in India receive it within a week of the order.
Is shipping really free?
Yes. Free shipping in India on every bag, 250 g or 500 g.
Which roast should I start with?
If you are unsure, start with the medium roast. It works in a moka pot, a French press, a pour-over, and an espresso machine, and it forgives a grind that is a little off.
The shop has the three roasts and the custom roast. If you are not sure, write to me at chanda.sayonsom@gmail.com and tell me how you brew.
