Kkai Cup Diaries
From Landslide to Lifeline: The Story Behind Kkai Cup
On July 30, 2024, the peaceful hills of Wayanad faced a heartbreaking tragedy. A massive landslide tore through Mundakkai and nearby areas, shaking the land, destroying homes, and taking away livelihoods that generations had built with love. But even from that destruction, a seed of hope was planted. That seed grew into something meaningful it became Kkai Cup.
What began as a small idea turned into a movement to help rebuild Mundakkai ,Wayanad , one coffee bean at a time
A Cup With a Purpose
After the landslide, we asked ourselves: How can we help our people? How can we turn this pain into purpose?
The answer was right under our feet — coffee. Wayanad is home to some of the richest coffee-growing soil in India, and the local farmers have been perfecting their craft for decades. Yet, they often struggled to get fair prices and recognition for their beans. Kkai Cup was born to change that.We work directly with local farmers in Mundakkai, ensuring they are paid fairly and treated with dignity. We don’t just buy their beans — we share their stories, honor their work, and help turn their crops into something greater: the best Wayanad coffee you can experience.
In the bustling world of coffee, where each brew tells a unique tale, there exists a group of unsung heroes—the coffee farmers. Their dedication, passion, and connection to the land breathe life into every aromatic cup we savor. Join us as we embark on a heartfelt journey to celebrate these remarkable individuals—the backbone of our beloved beverage.
