About
From our estate in Coorg to your cup
Skiá comes from the Greek word for shade, and that is exactly how our coffee grows: under a canopy of native trees on our eight-acre estate in Nelji, in the hills of Kodagu (Coorg), at around 3,200 feet.
Shade-grown, the slow way
Our Arabica and Robusta grow beneath tall shade trees. The shade keeps the plants cool and lets the cherries ripen slowly, which builds sweetness and depth in the cup. The same trees shelter birds and keep the soil healthy.
Grown, processed and roasted by us
We pick ripe cherries by hand, process them on the estate (washed, natural and small fermented lots) and roast in small batches. Because we do every step ourselves, nothing is lost between the farm and your cup.
The kolam on every pack
Our logo is a kolam, the hand-drawn pattern that welcomes guests at doorsteps across South India. Ours is drawn with coffee beans, and it stands for the welcome we want every cup to carry.
Coffee you can trace
We record where each lot comes from and how it was processed, so you always know what is in your bag.
