What Solberg & Hansen says about this coffee
Tasting notes: Sweet and spicy. Cocoa, spices, brown sugar.
One of the finest examples of classic Indian coffee, grown high in Chikmagalur on the Badnekhan Estate. Produced by Mammen Mappillai, with a continuous focus on quality and development.
Solberg & Hansen has been trading coffee from Merthi Mountain for over twenty years. And for good reasons. On the lush slopes at the foot of Merthi Mountain, a dedicated team works to produce top-class Indian coffee.
Merthi Mountain winds along the slopes of Merthi Peak in southwest India. The coffee trees reach up to 1400 meters above sea level, which is high for India. Combined with a careful and quality-conscious approach to cultivation and processing, this makes Merthi Mountain a coffee producer far above the Indian average.

What the roaster says about where it came from
We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.
How it sits among coffee from India
Solberg & Hansen describe this coffee as spice. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from India; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.
Every family the roaster names is a common one for coffee from India, so this reads as a typical example rather than an outlier.

Where each fact came from
Tasting notes
…tasting notes: Sweet and spicy. Cocoa, spices, brown sugar. part of a longer passage the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)
A further 6 facts on this page were read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for them.
Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
