At Black Monkey Coffee, our story is one of passion, purpose, and a relentless drive to make a difference in the world of coffee. Founded by Utham Bopanna, a third-generation farmer from Coorg, our journey began in 2016 when Utham started sourcing raw coffee beans directly from small and medium sized farmers under the name Coorg Trade Links. For two years, he built relationships with local farmers, gaining a deep understanding of the challenges they faced and the significant role middlemen played in the coffee supply chain.

Through this experience, Utham realized a powerful truth: the profit margins were being siphoned off at every stage before the beans reached the end consumer. The farmers, the heart of the industry, were not seeing the rewards they deserved, and consumers were missing out on high-quality, naturally flavorful coffee at a compelling price.

In 2018, he established Black Monkey Coffee, a company created with one mission: to bridge the gap between farmers and consumers. By cutting out the middlemen, Black Monkey Coffee ensures that farmers receive a fair price for their work while consumers experience the pure essence of Coorg's coffee.

But it didn’t stop there. Utham and his team relentlessly researched and experimented with different blends, cultivation methods, and roasting techniques to standardize and bring consistency to the rich natural flavors in every cup. The result? In 2018, we launched a range of premium coffee products under our B2B segment, which quickly gained recognition for their outstanding quality and consistency.

Thanks to referrals from our satisfied customers and the demand driven by the excellence of our products, we started receiving D2C (direct-to-consumer) orders daily. This growing demand inspired us to take the next step - entering the D2C market to offer a smoother, more seamless experience for our customers. It’s our customers who have made this leap possible, and we are proud to be here, ready to serve them on a direct platform.

With a focus on impact, Black Monkey Coffee strives not only to offer exceptional coffee but also to change the landscape of Indian coffee globally, ensuring that every sip tells a story of sustainability, fairness, and quality.
