Their Ol’ Smoky, possibly the world’s first-ever cold-smoked coffee, uses an unusual technique-exposing freshly picked (and still green) Arabica coffee beans, which are kept in a smokehouse, to cold smoke generated by the burning of locally available wood from fruit trees for 14 hours before processing it in the usual way. It took the three founders of Maverick & Farmer, who were also behind The Flying Squirrel, one of India’s first artisanal coffee brands, over a year to come up with, and perfect, three new coffee varieties-among them a unique cold-smoked coffee bean.
