Farm.

"Coffee from foothill of the Himalayas..."
Eastern Nepal is home to some of the world’s highest peaks, including Mt. Everest, Kanchenjunga, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Lhotse, and Jannu. The region is rich in natural beauty, featuring numerous national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, conservation areas, and Nepal’s tallest waterfalls, Todke and Kokli. We source our premium Arabica coffee beans primarily from small farming communities in the rural hilly regions of eastern Nepal.
The Malla family has established and managed a coffee farm in Ilam and actively supports other coffee growers by sharing knowledge, experience, and expertise in sustainable coffee farming. Our family-managed farm is located in Bijbanitar, on the banks of the Puwa River, at an altitude of 800-1,200 meters above sea level. Situated in the eastern region of Nepal, in the Ilam district bordering India, this lush, hilly area is renowned as the tea paradise of Nepal. The region’s highest point, Sandakpur, rises to 3,636 meters, and the Puwa River, also known as Puwamai, flows year-round, bringing pure mountain water directly to our coffee plants and nursery.
Our farm is surrounded by dense forests teeming with wildlife, including deer and the elusive musk deer. The forest is alive with the vibrant calls and colorful plumage of diverse bird species, creating a serene and biodiverse environment. At the bottom of our property, the Puwa River runs swiftly, especially during the rainy season, carrying fresh mountain water.
Our Bourbon and Typica coffee plants flourish in the cool mountain air and sunshine, with an average annual temperature of 20°C. Grown in nutrient-rich, carefully mulched soils, the coffee plants produce healthy and robust cherries. The trees blossom with delicate white flowers, which later give way to ripe red cherries. We process our coffee using the washed method, ensuring clean and high-quality beans.
In addition to our Ilam farm, we have recently sourced a few tons of green coffee beans from other high-altitude regions of eastern Nepal. These include Solukhumbu (1,450m ASL), the district of Mt. Everest; Bhojpur (1,400m ASL); Miklajung (1,200-1,300m ASL); and Letang (1,000-1,200m ASL). These areas, located in the eastern province of Nepal, contribute to the diversity and quality of our coffee offerings.
Sustainable coffee farming
We farm for a long term, sustainable future. As such, we have developed a well-managed coffee nursery on the farm. Our Bourbon and Typica seedlings are healthy as we have built a good structure and maintain constant care of them.
Following us, many local farmers and households have started farming coffee, and we support them with technical expertise. We have even distributed free Arabica seedlings to interested farmers and the community. We are continuously investing in our shared land and want to assure the farmers that we care about their harvest.
Our coffee has a distinct acidity. The aroma is floral and sometimes citrus. With flavours of dark chocolate and lemon (as noted by our roaster).
