Petu Kariappa is a second-generation farmer who passionately runs the Harangal farm, nestled in the pristine forested hills of the Coorg (Kodagu) region in southern India. After returning from university, he decided to continue the family tradition and took over the care of the farm, where he learned everything about coffee cultivation and land management from his father and extended family.
The Harangal farm lies at an altitude of around 1,250 meters and covers approximately 105 acres (about 42 hectares). Today, it cultivates about 60% Arabica and 40% Robusta, with the main Arabica cultivar being SLN 6 (an Arabica × Robusta hybrid). The coffee is processed using the traditional washed method: the coffee cherries are fermented in water for about 18 hours, then pulped and dried for around 8 days on terraces.
The Coorg region is part of the Western Ghats, one of the world’s eight biodiversity hotspots and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This mountain range, stretching along India’s western coast, significantly influences the climate of southern India and serves as the source of many important rivers.
On the farm, coffee trees grow under dense polycultural shade formed by a diverse mix of native and fruit trees, such as jamun, fig, mango, banana, orange, avocado, and rosewood. This system supports natural balance, protects the soil, and creates the ideal microclimate for coffee.
Thanks to this, Harangal is not only a coffee farm but also a living ecosystem.
