About the Farm
SM Plantation is a compact, well-run estate in the Boipariguda belt known for its fruit-forward natural lots. The estate focuses on selective hand-picking at optimum ripeness, a factor that significantly elevates the quality of naturally processed coffees by reducing underripe and overripe cherry in the drying batch.
The Story Behind the Farm
The SM Plantation team has been a quiet but consistent presence in Odisha coffee circles. Their methodical approach to cherry selection — sorting by float before any processing begins — has been highlighted in Gray Cup sourcing documentation as a model practice.

Processing Methods
Whole cherries are dried on raised beds for 25–35 days with regular turning to ensure even drying. The fruit remains in contact with the bean throughout, imparting rich fruit sweetness and body.
Cherry pulp is mechanically removed before fermentation in water tanks (18–36 hours). The parchment is then thoroughly washed and dried on raised beds for 12–18 days. Produces clean, bright, terroir-transparent cups.
