SLAY procures the finest, Single origin, AA grade coffee from Barbara Berry Estate by the family owned MG Plantations. The plantation is based in Chikmagalur on the foothills of Baba Budan Giri and stretches along with the wild forest patches. Our coffee is affiliated with forest-grown coffee. The estate's soil is virgin and no serious effort is made to motorise the plantation for the sole purpose of preserving sustainable eco-friendly systems

  • The unroasted seeds are initially planted in large nurseries under shade conditions to avoid much exposure to the sun. Arabica is planted at 3300-6600ft above sea level with 15-25℃ to grow and Robusta is planted at 650- 2000ft above sea level with 20- 30℃ to grow.

 

  • After planting. Generally, harvesting takes place between the months of February to April, which is an yearly crop. When the tree reaches its maturity, it begins to bear fruits, these fruits are called coffee cherries.

 

  • Then we harvest the selected cherries by hand picking (45- 90kg/day) or strip picking or by using a high grade machine. These cherries are harvested with great care to achieve the highest quality beans.

 

  • After levels of processing, our coffee beans are now completely sun dried and we leave the coffee to rest for between 5 – 14 days this helps the flavors and aromas to open up.

 

  • Then the dried coffee beans are stored and packed in GrainPro bags that help in breathability of coffee so that no moisture, air or foreign materials come in contact and also ensures the longevity of the coffee, which are sent to the warehouse for roasting.

 

  • Roasting of the beans turns the coffee into various shades of beans, there are different and specific times and temperatures set for these stages of coffee beans. When it begins to turn brown, that’s when they start to produce the flavor and aroma. Roastery makes sure that the beans are roasted and delivered to SLAY on the same day.

 

  • After the roasting process of these coffee beans, they are cooled and then packed for delivery.
