This super smooth coffee comes from the South Western Maharashtra Region just north of Goa. It gets its name 'Pearl Mountain' from the lush canopy of Silver Oak trees which it is grown under on Mount Baba Budangiri. This farm has been in the same generation for over a hundred years and supports lots of Community Projects in that area.
The farm also maintains its official Rainforest Alliance Certification. Quarterly soil tests and organic corrections to soil are applied. Ionic seawater and sea weed extract are applied to improve plant immunity and sugar levels of the fruit.
The estate is a lush shaded environment. It is home to over 48 recorded bird populations, monkeys, leopards, wild boar, tigers, mongoose and - on occasion - elephants. The rich biodiversity demands an approach to farming which places ecology and harmony with the environment at the forefront. This is a world class farm and a great example of working to engineer excellence.
