Saakya Himalayan Coffee | Darjeeling Medium Roast | 250g

Darjeeling Medium Roast Coffee — Handcrafted in the Himalayas

Saakya Darjeeling Medium Roast Coffee is cultivated in the ethereal mist of Darjeeling’s highlands — shade-grown at high altitude, hand-harvested by Umesh Gurung and roasted fresh in micro-lots to preserve its distinct character. This Darjeeling coffee medium roast unveils a harmonious fusion of flavours — toasted hazelnuts layered with a whisper of dark chocolate, a subtle fruity sweetness and a delicate floral aroma that lingers beautifully on the palate. Refined yet indulgent, this artisanal coffee offers a velvety full-bodied experience that embodies the rich heritage and purity of its Himalayan origins.

What Makes Darjeeling Coffee So Special

Darjeeling is world-famous for its tea — but its high-altitude slopes, cool misty climate and rich organic soil also produce some of the most extraordinary single-origin coffee in India. Grown above 1300 metres in the Eastern Himalayas, Darjeeling Arabica develops a unique flavour complexity that coffee from lower altitudes simply cannot replicate. The slow growing conditions at high altitude allow the coffee cherries to develop a dense concentrated flavour — resulting in a cup with unusual depth, clarity and a distinctive terroir character.

Umesh Gurung is one of the pioneers of coffee cultivation in Kalimpong and Darjeeling — a first-generation farmer who grows, hand-picks and roasts his beans with the finesse of an artist and the determination of a trailblazer. Every bag of Saakya Darjeeling Coffee Medium Roast is a product of his vision and dedication.

How to Enjoy Your Darjeeling Coffee

French Press — Recommended: Add 1 tablespoon (7-8g) of ground coffee to your French Press. Pour 200ml of water at 92-96°C. Brew for 5 minutes, gently press the plunger and pour. The Darjeeling medium roast coffee shines beautifully in a French Press — its chocolate and hazelnut notes develop fully in the longer steep time.

Black Coffee: Serve without milk to fully appreciate the complex flavour profile — the floral aroma, chocolate depth and fruity sweetness are best experienced clean and unadorned.

With Milk: Add a splash of full-fat milk or oat milk for a richer more indulgent experience. The chocolate notes pair beautifully with milk for a warming satisfying cup.

Cold Brew: Add 2 tablespoons of ground coffee to 300ml cold water and refrigerate overnight. The next morning you will have a naturally sweet smooth cold brew with remarkable chocolate depth — no bitterness whatsoever.
