“Pradhanam Nidhanam,” says V. Isaku, translating to “Patience is the key”. This 43-year-old village volunteer from Gangagudi in Araku mandal has been a long-time coffee grower. For him, the art of picking coffee cherries during harvest holds immense importance.
Each cherry holds the promise of future harvests, making meticulous selection essential. With patience as his guide, Isaku selectively harvests only ripe, crimson cherries to fetch a premium price for his produce.
This attention to detail has yielded rich rewards. His debut coffee in the 2024 Gems of Araku showcases a symphony of flavors including figs, prunes, dates, pomegranate juice, raisins, sparkling apple cider, orange, plum and white wine, with a rich and creamy body.
