Himalayan Coffee
A Journey from the Himalayas to Your Cup
Single Origin Organic Coffee Served Fresh from Our Mobile Coffee Trailer
Organic Beans
On the misty slopes of the Himalayas, free from pesticides and fertilizers, the coffee trees bask in the abundant sunshine due to thin air at high altitudes. The monsoons bring rain regularly every summer, keeping the trees happy and thriving. When the time is right, local farmers hand-pick the beans on their family-sized farms, often transporting them down the mountain on donkeys or horseback, preserving the traditional methods passed down through generations. Here our single farm origin coffee begins its journey.
Freshly Roasted
Our rare and exquisite coffee, with its distinct terroir and delicate aromatics, is roasted fresh every day. We believe in roasting to serve, not to store. Each batch is carefully packed in airtight containers and ground individually on demand, ensuring that every cup you enjoy is as fresh as possible. This meticulous process allows the beans to retain their delicate flavour right up to the last minute, offering you a truly exceptional coffee experience.
Coffee Trailer
Even our coffee trailer has a story attached. Once a retired horse box, it has been transformed into a mobile coffee haven. We cleaned and sanitized it, removed the old wooden parts, and welded the metal structure. To new floors, walls, and interior fittings, we added a service window and installed state-of-the-art catering equipment. This transformation allows us to bring the hidden gem of the coffee world to your local area, offering a clean, bright, uniquely vibrant, and nuanced flavour profile – a true testament to the high-altitude origins of our beans.
The Journey of Our Coffee Beans
Organic Origin
Our beans thrive in the pristine Himalayan highlands, cultivated without pesticides or fertilizers. We partner directly with small family farmers committed to sustainable practices, fostering biodiversity and protecting the delicate mountain ecosystem.
Harvesting
Each coffee cherry is hand-picked at peak ripeness, ensuring only the finest beans make their way into your cup. Traditional harvesting methods, often involving local communities, preserve the integrity of the land and support fair labour and trade practices.
Transport
Navigating the rugged Himalayan terrain, our beans often travel on horseback or donkey. This slow, deliberate transport minimizes environmental impact and maintains the beans’ unique characteristics, a testament to our commitment to ethical sourcing.
Roasting
Our beans are expertly roasted in small batches to highlight their distinct flavour profiles, using precise temperature control and timing. We employ a light to medium roast to showcase the nuanced sweetness and delicate floral notes inherent in Himalayan coffee.
Storage & Packing
We store our roasted beans in airtight, temperature-controlled environments to preserve their freshness and aroma. Our careful storage practices ensure that every cup of coffee delivers the full, vibrant flavour of the Himalayas.
Grinding
We grind our beans fresh to order, maximizing the release of aromatic oils and ensuring optimal flavour extraction. Our precision grinders allow us to tailor the grind size to your preferred brewing method, from espresso to pour-over.
Triple Filtered Water
We use triple-filtered, crystal-clear water to ensure the purest possible extraction, allowing the coffee’s natural flavours to shine. The water’s pristine quality complements the delicate notes of our Himalayan coffee, resulting in a truly exceptional cup.
Brewing
Our state-of-the-art espresso machine delivers consistent temperature and pressure, extracting the perfect balance of flavours from our beans. Crafted by experienced baristas, each espresso shot is a testament to our dedication to precision and quality.
