Kynetra Coffee
Pure estate Robusta S274 — high caffeine, thick crema, earthy intensity. The honest workhorse of the Indian coffee tradition.
Robusta is misunderstood. In the specialty world it is dismissed; in the Italian espresso tradition it is essential. Our S274 Robusta is grown on the lower slopes of the estate at 1,100m — still high enough for some quality differentiation — and represents the bulk of traditional South Indian filter coffee’s body and crema.
S274 is Karnataka’s most planted Robusta variety: disease-resistant, high-yielding, and genuinely suited to dark roasting. At 222°C it produces a bold, earthy cup with double the caffeine of Arabica and a thick, persistent crema that no Arabica can match.
For the drinker who wants energy, body, and value without compromise, pure Robusta is the honest choice.

Robusta that punches hard — in a good way
I use this as my espresso base and blend it with the estate Arabica. The body and crema it adds is exactly what I was looking for. Roasted well and delivered fresh.
