Modern Roast, Timeless Flavour
On the quiet banks of the Harangi backwaters, where mist hangs low over still waters, lies Mooleh Manay — “Corner House” in Kannada — a sanctuary of balance and imagination. Surrounded by dense forest and monsoon rhythm, the estate is nurtured by Komal and Akshay, a new-generation duo reimagining what Indian coffee can be. Here, the air hums with the sound of birds and distant rainfall, while the soil holds the memory of old trees and patient cultivation.
At roughly 1,000 metres above sea level, the estate grows Arabica, Robusta, and the rare Excelsa — an uncommon trio on Indian soil. Each lot is treated as an experiment in restraint: minimal fertilisers, no weedicides, and processes that allow the land to breathe. Cherries dry slowly in the lakeside humidity, transforming naturally under filtered sunlight into complex honeys and naturals. The craft is quiet, the discipline constant, the result—deeply alive.
Mooleh Manay’s coffees carry the calm of the backwaters and the curiosity of its caretakers. Expect layered fruit sweetness, a gentle weight, and a lingering clarity that mirrors still water. It’s a place where ecology meets emotion — a corner of Coorg that proves that progress in coffee doesn’t always come from speed, but from silence, patience, and care.
