Prakashan & Mohan Balaraman

Prakashan and Mohan Balaraman cultivate coffee in the Tamil Nadu region of India, operating at an altitude of 1450 meters. Their production focuses on specialty preparation within this specific southern Indian terroir.

The varietal profile documented in the index lists unspecified cultivars designated simply as other varieties. This points to unique local selections or traditional plantings managed on their farm.

Their processing methods center on experimental anaerobic techniques. The catalog currently features two distinct variations of this approach, specifically aerobic natural and champagne natural styles.

A single roaster, Five Senses Coffee, carries their lots within the index. The catalog representation includes two active coffees under the Kurinji name.

Recent catalog entries feature the Kurinji Kurinji, Aerobic Natural and the Kurinji, Champagne Natural, both roasted by Five Senses Coffee using anaerobic natural processing methods.

The work of Prakashan and Mohan Balaraman stands out in the catalog through their application of advanced anaerobic processing methods to Indian coffees from Tamil Nadu.
