Our Story

The coffee a new nation woke up to

OUR STORY

It began with retailing coffee in the neighbourhood. It lead to the brewing of a filter coffee behemoth. And the founding of a family. Both of whom carry the name of Cothas. We have to credit the sensibilities of a visionary. That of Sri Krishnaiah Chetty, who, in 1947, set up shop selling filter coffee powder to domestic customers and hoteliers. Wherein he procured green coffee seeds of different varieties from the local market, and masterfully roasted them to perfect temperatures, then finely ground, and thereafter packed and sealed them before customers.

SOURCING

Mountainous regions in Karnataka like Kodagu and Chikmangaluru have always boasted of slopes teeming with exceptional coffee beans. Cothas partners with select growers from these areas to ensure that nothing but the finest beans are procured

STATE-OF-THE-ART PROCESSING

German machinery and proprietary techniques of roasting and grinding are Cothas’s aces in creating its coffee’s unique flavour, aroma and freshness. Add to this Cothas’s modern storage and packaging facilities, which ensure stringent levels of hygiene that meet the requirements of the most demanding customers.

ABOUT THE OWNERS

You can always recognise a Cothas. By his nose for coffee.

Cothas isn’t merely the legacy of a matchless coffee company thriving for 70 years. It’s also the proud title of the family at its helm. With the third generation of the Cothas family now leading the brand towards newer palates, it’s clear Sri Krishnaiah Chetty’s descendants inherited his sensibilities. Fully owning and managing Cothas Coffee, the father-son duo of Mr. C. K.Sreenathan and Mr. C. S. Nitin took the company to the apex of the finest filter coffee makers on the planet.
