About Kujaku

Kujaku doesn't come at you. It arrives. A medium roasted single origin coffee from Chikmagalur, made from 100% arabica coffee beans that went through the washed process precisely because restraint is a choice. Caramel. Bright cherry. White chocolate at the edges. Clean and balanced in the way that only good coffee beans with honest processing can manage. These specialty coffee beans work across every method and every level of drinker. The kind of Chikmagalur coffee that gets more interesting the more attention you pay.

Origin & Process

Grown at altitude across the estates of Chikmagalur, Karnataka: SLN795 arabica variety, ideal elevation, cool climate. Kujaku's flavour is shaped by the washed process: cherries are pulped, fermented, and thoroughly rinsed before drying. This coffee bean washing process removes the fruit layer early and deliberately, letting the bean's character emerge undistorted. Wet processed coffee done well produces exactly this: brightness, clarity, a precision other methods can't replicate. What you taste in Kujaku is the terroir. The processing stepped aside.

How to Brew

One of the most versatile medium roast coffee beans in our range. Every method works, and works well.

Espresso
· Fine grind · 18–20g · tamp evenly · extract 25–30 sec
French Press · Coarse grind · steep 4 min · press gently · serve immediately
Pour Over · Medium grind · 1:15 ratio · slow circular pour · 2–3 min
Moka Pot
· Medium-fine grind · fill to valve · low heat · 3–5 min
AeroPress
· Medium-fine grind · 80–90°C · steep 30–45 sec · press slowly

With milk or black, the arabica coffee beans hold their character either way. Rest 7 days post-roast. Then begin.

Freshness & Packaging

Kujaku is roasted to order. Every batch of freshly roasted coffee beans is sealed immediately into a single-valve pouch: CO₂ out, oxygen blocked. When you order coffee beans from Okiru, you're getting specialty coffee beans at their actual peak, not the peak a warehouse roast date suggests. The zip-lock holds freshness after opening. Store cool and dry. Reseal after every use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is washed process coffee and how does it affect flavour?

In the washed process, the cherry is pulped immediately after harvest, then fermented and thoroughly rinsed before drying. This wet processed coffee method removes the fruit layer early, producing a cleaner cup with brighter acidity and more defined flavour. Kujaku tastes like caramel and cherry because those are the arabica coffee bean's own flavours. The processing didn't add them. It just didn't get in the way.

What makes Chikmagalur coffee beans special?

High altitude, reliable rainfall, slow cherry development. Chikmagalur coffee beans come from a region that earns the quality rather than markets it. Cool climate slows ripening, concentrating flavour and natural sweetness. Kujaku is sourced from estates in Chikmagalur because the region does work that no roastery can replicate.

How fresh are the beans when they arrive?

Roasted to order. We don't pre-stock freshly roasted coffee beans: every batch is prepared after your order, sealed immediately, and shipped. When you order coffee beans online in India, this is what freshness should actually mean: days from roast, not weeks from a warehouse. Rest 7 days before first brew.

Is Kujaku good for espresso?

Yes. Medium roast coffee beans like Kujaku pull clean, balanced espresso: natural sweetness, no harsh bitterness. These arabica coffee beans hold up with milk and work as a straight shot. If you want brighter espresso without dark roast intensity, Kujaku is the right Chikmagalur coffee for it.

Is this suitable for beginners and experienced drinkers?

Both. The washed process gives Kujaku clean, approachable flavour. A first-time specialty coffee drinker will find it easy, and an experienced one will find plenty to notice. Good coffee beans aren't designed to gatekeep. Kujaku isn't designed to have a ceiling either.
