Kalledevarapura Estate

AUGUST 22, 2023

Kalledevarapura Estate dates back to the 1900s and was the first farm we visited! The lush estate is situated at an altitude of around 1300m in the picturesque Bababudangiri Hills in Chikmagalur, Karnataka. Kalledevarapura’s Arabica is shade grown, and the estate is covered with jackfruit, fig, and silver oak trees. The picking of coffee cherries at Kalledevarapura is carried out across four rounds to ensure that the best cherries are picked.

The estate uses a special hybrid processing method for the pulp sun dried we source from them. Like wet-processing, the outer skin of the coffee fruit is removed mechanically. The coffee cherries are then left to dry out in the sun on ventilated racks with the remaining fruit intact, giving the coffee a unique flavour. 

Kalledevarapura provides free electricity, water and living quarters for all its staff who work on its estate along with free education for the children of all staff members. The estate also offers medical facilities, maternity benefits as well as a creche for everyone who works on its farms.

Relative to standard wet-processed coffees, pulp sun dried coffees have more body and lower acidity, while minimising the defects and taints that are normally found in dry-processed coffees.
