Lobo & Co began with a simple idea: coffee should carry the story of where it comes from.

We are a family of coffee growers from the Western Ghats of South India, where coffee has been part of our family for generations. Our farm, Kaapikaadu Estate in Sakleshpur, Karnataka, is where our journey begins — from the cherries we grow to the coffees we carefully develop at origin.

Over the years, we have experimented with different varieties, fermentation methods and drying techniques, always with one goal: to discover what our coffee can truly become.

Today, we are bringing that journey to Australia. Lobo & Co is our way of connecting the farm directly with coffee drinkers — sharing coffees that are grown, processed and traced back to the place they come from, while working with local roasters in Melbourne to bring them to life.

We believe Indian coffee has many stories yet to be told. And ours starts here, at the farm.
