Baba Budangiri is known to be the birthplace of coffee in India, where Baba Budan smuggled green coffee across from the neighbouring port of Mocha in Yemen, in the 16th century. In those days, coffee was a closely-guarded commodity, only exported in its roasted form to prevent other competing countries from growing their own coffee.

Coffee from the Thippanahalli Estate is grown on some of the highest peaks in the region by fifth-generation planters whose family has a history of 230 years in the district and are pioneers in the coffee plantation. This single-estate coffee has a subtle spiciness, nutty overtones and a deliciously rich, chocolatey body.

Sourced from the historic Baba Budangiri region, the India Thippanahalli Estate (Wholesale) - WT0 represents the meticulous output of the Thippanahalli Estate. This lot features the S.795 varietal, a selection widely cultivated across India for its resilience and cup quality. Grown at 1200-1300 masl, the beans undergo a fully washed process, a method typically employed to highlight the inherent clarity and clean profile of the coffee cherry.

Offered by PPP Coffee, this selection presents a profile defined by mild acidity, subtle spice, and a dark chocolate finish. While individual lots vary, washed coffees are often celebrated for their ability to showcase the terroir of the growing region with precision. To better understand how these specific characteristics align with broader sensory profiles, you may wish to consult our flavor wheel. This coffee serves as a refined example of the traditional, balanced cup profiles often associated with the high-elevation estates of the Baba Budangiri hills.
