Coffee / Appia Blend
Appia brings together two distant landscapes through one idea: diversity creates resilience, and resilience can create extraordinary flavor. We blend 20% natural Excelsa from Mooleh Manay Estate in Coorg, India. Excelsa, Coffea liberica var. dewevrei, represents a tiny fraction of the coffee grown worldwide compared with Arabica and Robusta. Its vigorous growth, deeper rooting, and greater tolerance to heat and variable conditions make it an important expression of genetic diversity as coffee agriculture adapts to a changing climate. In the cup, that difference is unmistakable: Concord grape, raspberry, soft marshmallow sweetness, and a lifted, wine-like aroma.
Together, Giaguaro and Excelsa create a cup that moves in layers: juicy red fruit and grape first, then panela and cacao, finishing with a soft confectionery sweetness and lingering aromatic lift. The 80/20 composition keeps Giaguaro grounded and familiar while Excelsa opens the cup upward, adding perfume, energy, and an almost wild complexity. For Erava, Appia is a blend about connection between continents, species, ecosystems, and the future of coffee. It reflects our regenerative philosophy: protecting diversity in the landscape while searching for greater diversity in the cup.

Life on the Farm
Our days begin with the first light, not an alarm. We drink warm water, step outside, and walk with the animals while the sun rises. It is a calm beginning, far from the years of traffic, offices, and drinking coffee only to survive another day.
Morning chores follow. We feed the animals, refresh their water, and move them to new grass. The pace is slow and grounding. When the work is done, we make a simple breakfast from whatever the garden has given us. Only then do we make our first coffee of the day.
The rest of the day is shaped by small tasks around the farm, moments of quiet, and time spent observing the land. As the sun sets, we bring the animals in, prepare dinner, and end the day with the same sense of peace with which it began.
