WATAPI is a small estate, 100% organic  (certified) and the main crop is Coffee (Arabica) with Pepper as an intercrop.  The Estate covering a total area of 20 acres was started in 1992 on virgin land, and a total of 10 acres have been developed so far.

 In addition to being 100% organic, the coffee is SHADE GROWN.

Silver Oak Grevillea Robusta) trees are used for shade, providing a canopy like that of a tropical forest.  The tree branches shelter the coffee plants from the sun, at the same time, providing critical habitat for migratory birds, insects  and mammals.  At the same time, the biomass contributes to the fertility of the land.

We realize that Shade Grown Coffee is one of the important reservoirs of biodiversity.In addition to silver oak, there are hundreds of other trees like Teak, Jack, Rosewood, Champak, Orange, Ficus, Avocado, Cashew, Honne, Matthi, etc. growing on the estate. COFFEE and PEPPER have started yielding from 1999 in small quantities.

We carry out the processing or curing of Coffee on the estate itself using the WET-PROCESS to obtain PARCHMENT COFFEE or WASHED COFFEE which is then polished or de-husked to obtain PLANTATION coffee beans ready for roasting.

 What we can offer is PLANTATION BULK, ungraded coffee.

Only FARMYARD MANURE available locally is used.  Weeding is done manually and the mowed weeds left on the land for composting.  In addition, the coffee-berry pulp is composted and used as manure.

Pesticides, Weedicides, or chemical fertilizers have not been used at any stage and  so far there have been no instances of diseases or insect/pest attacks.
