Meghana HarikumarBengaluru: With the monsoons at the doorstep, Maverick & Farmer Coffee, the artisanal farm-to-cup coffee brand, has crafted a new line of coffees inspired and elevated by the local produce of the Western Ghats, home to the brand’s coffee estate. Directing the spotlight on ingredients found in the biodiverse and rain-laden Western Ghats, the Monsoon Menu celebrates the warm flavours and the spirit of the region.

Embracing the brand’s commitment to revolutionising the coffee experience, sip by sip, the new menu marries local ingredients with maverick inventions to create brews that are apt for the season. The homegrown creations include – the Shoonti Kaapi, a soothing and healing hot, flat white with organic palm jaggery and dried ginger from the coffee estate at Pollibetta in Coorg. Yelakki banana plants dot the entire landscape of the coffee country, which inspired The Yellaki and Elaichi Cold Coffee, a deliciously refreshing drink infused with homegrown cardamom and laced with banana milk. Cinnamon is a beloved and comforting monsoon ingredient, and the Cinnamon Pour-over features naturally-processed Arabica coffee beans infused with the heady spice. The Kallu Hoovu Cappucino is an ode to the Kallu hoovu or Stone Flower, an aromatic spice used extensively in Malnad cooking and found in abundance along the rocky surfaces of the Western Ghats. When blended with the single estate fruity Arabica – Modur naturals, it becomes a gently flavoured cappuccino.

Speaking about the menu to The Balcony Stories, Ashish D’abreo, Q Grader, Coffee Roaster and Co-founder of Maverick & Farmer Coffee, says, “The idea for the menu was to work in local and season-specific yet unexpected ingredients to create flavours that we haven’t yet tasted before, putting a whole new spin on coffees for the monsoons.”
The new monsoon menu is available throughout the season, so be sure to stop by and try one of the unique homegrown coffees and be transported to the comfort of Coorg.
