The Luna is a natural and sun-dried Robusta with strong dark chocolate flavour notes. This coffee is best enjoyed with milk and sugar and as a wake up call sort of morning brew! KNOW THE GROWER: Ashakiran is an organic estate bursting with the liveliest Robusta coffee. Spiders and wasps replace chemical sprays as pest-control. Leaf litter from forest trees substitute chemical fertilizers. Butterflies and bees help pollinate coffee and maintain productivity in the absence of chemical inputs. A biodiversity-friendly farm like this is a playground for Luna moths. We hope to actively monitor Lunas to evaluate the impact of our efforts on such species. THE INSPIRATION: The Luna or Indian Moon Moth is one of the largest moths in India, with a wingspan of up to 5 inches. Lunas are romantic busybodies at dusk, flying to and from each other with alacrity. They are also prolific silk producers, once common but now more endangered. Scientists believe that Lepidoptera (fancy word for moths and butterflies) are good indicators of the health of a forest. Thats why we grin with glee when we sight them in coffee farms!
