About this product

A small-batch botanical oil featuring the earthy aroma of Coorg wild turmeric.

Prepared in small batches under the Coorg Mist botanical oils programme in Madikeri, Kodagu.

Coorg Mist Coffee Co is created and powered by Hyperbridge; Aakhil Appaiah leads local sourcing, roasting, and fulfilment operations.

The Science

Wild Curcuma harvested from the shola undergrowth carries a different aromatic signature than cultivated turmeric — its ar-turmerone and curcumene content runs higher, giving the extracted oil a deeper, more resinous, almost woody note than the flat culinary spice.

The Story

It grows uninvited in the shade between coffee rows, the way it has for generations, and every monsoon the estate hands dig it out by memory rather than map.
