Flavour profile & Process

A yeast-fermented washed Sarchimor from Gundikhan Estate in Karnataka. Green apple and brown sugar lead the cup, with loumi adding a dry citrus-spice note and a long, sticky finish.

Sourcing with Care

The endless pursuit of great coffee

Gundikhan Estate sits high in Karnataka's Chikmagalur district and is part of Kaad Kaapi, a group of farms that combines specialty coffee with wildlife conservation. Saif Ulla keeps a dense native tree canopy across the estate, creating shade for the coffee and habitat for elephants, Indian gaurs, birds and other wildlife.

That canopy makes farming more demanding and lowers yields, so careful processing and higher-quality lots matter to the farm's economics. Gundikhan is the first Indian coffee Manhattan has released, chosen after a long search for a lot that could introduce the origin on its own terms.

The Making of Great Taste

All about Manhattan Coffee Roasters

Manhattan Coffee Roasters was founded in Rotterdam in 2017 by Ben Morrow and Esther Maasdam. The name nods to Rotterdam's 'Manhattan aan de Maas' nickname and the old Holland America Line between Rotterdam and New York.

They work with traceable lots from producers they know, from dependable espresso coffees to small competition releases. Each coffee gets a roast profile for espresso or filter, with the flavour of the lot kept front and centre.
