Our Story

On the fateful night of July 30, 2024, torrential cloudbursts triggered catastrophic landslides that swept through the villages of Chooralmala and Mundakkai in Wayanad. The sudden, massive debris flow buried thriving agricultural fields, taking lives and tearing apart local infrastructure. For the farming community, this meant the sudden destruction of decades of hard work, especially on the steep hillsides where they cultivated high-quality Wayanad Robusta Coffee. The landslide did not just sweep away homes; it threatened the very existence of the region's agricultural heritage.

Despite the immense grief and economic impact, the resilient farmers of Mundakkai refused to let their farms be permanently lost. Slowly, through collective community efforts and the help of volunteers, agricultural lands were cleared of silt and boulders. They began restoring the shade-grown coffee plants that define this unique terroir. It became clear that the best way to support these families was to create a direct bridge to consumers, ensuring their premium Wayanad Robusta Coffee could be sold at fair prices, helping them secure resources to rebuild their lives and secure their futures.
