This estate is run by four amazing women of the Kariappa family: mother Nalima and sisters Maanavi, Anusha and Tejini. Kambihallli Estate was passed on to their father C.P. Manu Kariappa, and with his early passing it was left to his wife and daughters. The family has grown sustainable, shade grown, handpicked and sun-dried specialty coffee in the western Ghats mountain range of India since 1948, and today they've grouped their 100% women run coffee projects are under the umbrella "Halli Berri". According to the family, they are breaking barriers of traditional patriarchal coffee communities! What makes this coffee stand out Halli Berri is 100% women-run which is really incredible. Women make up 70% of the coffee production workforce yet rarely receive the same resources that male coffee producers do — such as access to land, capital, and education to run their businesses. It is our goal at Driftaway to source from at least 50% women farmers, such as the four women that operate Halli Berri.
