Our Beans
We meticulously select only the finest Arabica and Robusta beans, harvested at the precise moment, to create an unparalleled coffee experience. Our expertise lies in crafting a unique blend that combines the exceptional qualities of both Arabica and Robusta beans, showcasing their best attributes. Through our meticulous post-harvest techniques, we ensure the elimination of any undesirable characteristics in the blend. The robust Robusta beans contribute to a bold, full-bodied coffee with a distinctive earthy flavor, while the addition of a small proportion of Arabica beans brings forth a delightful smoothness to the overall taste.
History of Coffee
Indian coffee has a remarkable history spanning 400 years, tracing its origins to the Mughal dynasty during the 17th century. According to legend, a Sufi saint named Baba Budan embarked on a journey from Mocha (present-day Mecca) to India. Aware of the Arabs' possessiveness over coffee, he ingeniously affixed seven coffee beans to his chest. Baba Budan's pilgrimage unveiled his fondness for Qahwah (coffee), inspiring him to establish the roots of coffee cultivation in the scenic hills of South India.
Over time, the coffee industry flourished, influenced by the British and Dutch colonial powers, which contributed to the refinement of flavors and the development of infrastructure. Even after India gained independence, the coffee culture remained deeply rooted in its origins and thrived under the stewardship of local farmers. Today, we take immense pride in belonging to a generation that relishes the exquisite taste and historical significance of post-colonial, democratic Indian coffee. It is a legacy that the royal roast team ardently seeks to embody – coffee created by the people, for the people.

Our Story
We are a couple of travel-loving Bangaloreans who simply can’t wake up without a steaming cup of coffee. Not just that, we needed our favorite cup of coffee before we could pen any of our travel stories or before every important meeting in our bustling startup factory. We like our coffee before lunch and after lunch as well. I think you get the drift. For us running out of great coffee is like running out of air. So over the years, during many of our travels to the coffee-growing areas in Coorg and Chikmagalur, we managed to identify estates producing great coffee and tied up with them for sourcing coffee beans for our home and office. Over the years, friends who visited us also fell in love with our coffee and started dropping in more frequently. At first, we thought our company was irresistible until the truth dawned on us, one fine day. When the covid lockdowns hit Bangalore, we got so many desperate requests for coffee beans and ground coffee from our friends that we had to literally run a bootlegging operation. Few bags of coffee at a time from our connections in Coorg, dodging the road barricades, evading the lockdown enforcers, and then later finding a roaster who helped us understand the art of roasting our own beans. Needless to say, we had our adventure and soon friends became family.
