Bright yellow lights, walls with word clouds, “ A lot can happen over coffee” having its own space, brown sofas, a counter with some of the most delectable cake and sandwiches I had ever eaten, a verandah for outside seating, and amicable staff. The earliest I can remember being exposed to cafe culture in my tier-2 hometown was a Cafe Coffee Day store. In order to start this story, we might want to roll back a decade or so, to go back to when coffee started becoming cool, owing to a Karnataka native named VG Siddhartha. That’s loyalty not just in terms of what the product has to offer, but also what the brand is doing over and above the product to ensure some lifetime patreons. This also raises the question of how spoilt for choice we have become, and whether as premium customers, loyalty to that one cup of coffee holds meaning for us.

And while it’s certainly true for Western countries, you’d be surprised to see that behavior in Indian working professionals, too.

This microlot drew select coffee from 123 smallholders in the Buesaco and Arboleda Berruecos municipalities on land that spans 1700 to 2200 masl. Producers in Nariño are smallholders, often with tiny plots of less than one to two hectares that dot the steep terrain in remote locations.
