Himalayan Specialty Coffee Darjeeling – Medium Roast | 250g

Nestled high in the Eastern Himalayas, Umesh Gurung is quietly transforming India’s coffee narrative. As a first-generation farmer and one of the pioneers of coffee cultivation in Kalimpong and Darjeeling, Umesh is part of a small yet passionate movement—showing that premium, shade-grown Arabica can flourish on these rugged mountain slopes.

Farming with big dreams, Umesh grows, hand-picks, and roasts his beans with the finesse of an artist and the determination of a trailblazer. His vision is crystal clear: to enhance the unique flavour profile of Himalayan coffee and to inspire others in his community to take pride in their land, their labour, and their heritage. At Saakya, we’re honoured to walk alongside Umesh on this journey.

We partner directly with early adopters like him to shine a light on Himalayan coffee—providing them with resources, fair pricing, and a long-term commitment. Our mission is to help build not just better coffee, but also stronger communities throughout the Himalayan region.

When you choose Saakya, you’re not just purchasing a bag of coffee. You’re fuelling a farmer’s dreams. You’re supporting livelihoods. You’re helping an entire region believe in its potential.

Brew boldly. Drink mindfully. Be part of something meaningful
