Palaki Lakku is a revered name among Gems of Araku veterans, whose coffee has made it to seasons’ best since its debut in 2022. Two years on, his mastery in cultivating specialty coffee has only deepened and he attributes this success to the art of time management.
During the harvest season, Lakku meticulously selects crimson red cherries, carefully sorting and preparing them ahead of procurement. This strategic approach to managing time permeates every aspect of coffee cultivation - from precise mulching to timely harvest.
