About the farm

Papakuchi Coffee, hailing from Coorg, India, represents the culmination of three generations of expertise in producing some of the country’s finest coffee. By blending decades of knowledge, traditional growing methods, and innovative technologies, Papakuchi Coffee enhances the flavor and quality of its beans. Since 2013, the brand has been exporting specialty coffee micro-lots across Europe, East Asia, and Australia, earning a reputation for quality, consistency, traceability, and a commitment to sustainability, fair trade, and direct roaster-farmer relationships.

Venkids Valley Estate, a third-generation plantation, produces some of India’s best coffee by leveraging decades of expertise, traditional growing techniques, and modern technology to refine processes and enhance quality. The estate was founded by the father of the late M.N. Cariappa, who recognized the land’s potential and laid a strong foundation for superior coffee production. Equipped with a degree in Agriculture and extensive work experience across South India, Cariappa took over the farm, expanding his holdings throughout Coorg. By integrating traditional farming methods with innovative processes, Cariappa emerged as one of India’s most successful and respected coffee growers.

Today, Venkids Valley is managed by Cariappa’s son, Pavan Nanjappa, who has worked alongside his father for years. Together with his wife Shilpa, Nanjappa continues the family tradition, harvesting both Arabica and Robusta varieties under the brand name Papakuchi.

We’ve made significant progress in our exploration of Fine Robustas, aiming to showcase the high quality of Robusta coffee produced in India. Most Indian Robusta is exported to Europe and Australia, while much of what stays within the country is utilized by instant coffee manufacturers and roasters focusing on mass-produced commercial blends for espresso and South Indian filter coffee. With revolutionary advancements in farming, fermentation, and post-harvest processing, our producers are generating considerable excitement in the Robusta space.
