Our sweetest blend. 100% Arabica and a honey process. This shade-grown, single-origin Arabica is hand-picked, hand-pulped, and sun-dried by five dedicated grower couples in B.R. Hills Tiger Reserve in Karnataka.
Behind the Name: This blend is called Five Stories and is named after the 5 farmer couples who hand-picked and hand-processed this coffee. We've translated this to Aidu Kathegaḷu in Kannada, the primary language of Karnataka; Aidu means five, Kathe means stories or tales, and galu makes it plural.
