Each cup tells the story of regenerative agriculture, where 150,000 tribal families have transformed from subsistence farming to prosperous coffee cultivation using organic practices that enrich both the land and their livelihoods.
What makes Araku Coffee truly special is its terroir-mapped approach. The valley's red loamy soil, pristine streams, and carefully planned canopy of shade trees create unique microclimates that produce distinct flavor profiles.
From the signature naturals with notes of sweet berries and stone fruits to washed varieties offering bright citrus and floral notes, each batch captures the essence of its specific terroir while maintaining the rich body and medium acidity that defines premium Indian coffee.
The brand's innovative Arakunomics model, recognized by the Rockefeller Foundation, ensures fair trade practices by eliminating middlemen and providing tribal farmers with prices above international market rates. This direct-trade approach not only delivers exceptional coffee but also supports community development, education, and healthcare infrastructure in the valley.
