This coffee is from Madhu Agro Plantation in Koraput, Odisha, India, produced by Nirmala and Rajashree Reddy. It is a honey sun-dried processed coffee of the Chandragiri variety, 100% arabica, grown at 920 meters altitude. The coffee is organically certified from the 2025 crop year and sourced through Kaveri Coffee. It features tasting notes of mandarin, apricot, and caramel. The coffee is shade-grown on a farm that promotes biodiversity and environmental sustainability.
Hedge Coffee was founded in 2015 in San Francisco by Olga and Alex Sobal, starting as a mobile specialty coffee catering company before establishing a permanent location in the Mission District. The couple brought roasting in house in 2020, sourcing green coffees through importers while building direct relationships with producers where possible. Hedge emphasizes environmental stewardship and transparency in its sourcing, treating sustainability as an operational priority rather than a marketing angle. The roastery's roots in catering gave it an unusual perspective on service and portability that still shapes how it approaches coffee.
