WELCOME TO OUR COFFEE INSPIRED WORLD
Bringing the exquisite flavours of coffee to your kitchen is an art that we have excelled in for over 150 years now. Our artisanal coffees comprise the finest beans, hand-picked and manually processed at our heritage estates, before they are roasted, packed and dispatched to your neighbourhood delicatessen. With a heritage and expertise in growing coffee that spans 5 generations, we offer a wide range of coffees with a delightfully unique personality and taste profile. These 100% pure coffees come with zero additives, such as chicory – to provide you with an unblemished coffee experience.
Whether your preference is for a strong Italian style espresso, brewed with a French Press; or a traditional South Indian filter coffee, you will find a Classic blend that meets your taste perfectly.
ORIGIN
The world's connoisseur coffees are of single origin.
Ours is amongst the finest of them.
Some of the world’s finest coffees originate from the verdant hills of Bababudangiri in Chikmagalur, and Sakleshpur in the Manjarabad region. Premium grade coffees from our own Kalladevarapura and Harley estates across these two regions have consistently been awarded as amongst the best coffees in the region. Our coffees grow under a canopy of trees and are nurtured with natural flowing spring waters. Soaking up the rich characteristics of the soil and the environment, our coffees are imbued with a unique palette of flavours and taste profiles ranging from hints of spice, fruity and floral notes. This shade-grown coffee has its own distinctive characteristics – taste, flavour, aroma and mouthfeel – resultant from our combination of technique and terroir.
EXPERTISE
Carefully nurtured over 5 generations
Over 150 years ago, the family behind Classic Group made Indian coffee mark its presence across the world. 5 generations hence, we continue this glorious tradition. Founded and managed by 4th and 5th generation coffee planters, Classic Coffee is the culmination of a long and cherished association with coffee. Every sip of these fine coffees tells the story of expertise in cultivating, picking, processing, milling, sorting and roasting of the magical bean called coffee. The collective strengths of our current team - which was amongst the community that pioneered the global outreach of Indian coffee through export operations - across nurturing, processing and marketing has helped our coffees gain immense recognition globally. We are founder members of Specialty Coffee Association of India (SCAI), besides being members of the international Specialty Coffee Association; and our promoters are active on the India Coffee Board.
RECOGNITION
The world of Classic speciality coffees is replete with full bodied flavour, produced by a fine terroir, and finer technique. Over the years our coffees have been recognized consistently for their goodness at international forums as well as by leading international brands. We were awarded 'Best Robusta from India' for 4 consecutive years at the 'Cup of India Awards' among other stellar achievements. These wins stand testament to the singular passion we bring to nurturing and processing coffee across both our estates. After all, great produce makes great coffee!.
