India - Sourcing

This coffee came to us through South India Coffee Company (SICC), co-founded by Komal Sable. Komal holds the CQI’s Q Processing 2 certification and leads SICC’s buyer relationships, export operations, and farm partnerships. Together with her husband Akshay, she is working to bring South Indian coffee to a wider audience around the world.

SICC sees green coffee as one part of a much bigger system. Alongside sourcing, they partner closely with farms and producer communities. They research alternative coffee species and climate resilience, and they maintain a living collection of coffee plants on their own farms. They also coordinate logistics at both origin and destination, so every coffee stays traceable from farm to roastery.

I’m honoured to work with SICC this year, and hopefully for many years to come.
