The House of ChocoDew

A house built on patience, not scale.

In 1994 our grandfather swapped a share of the family's wheat land for eleven sacks of green coffee from Coorg. He roasted them over a wood fire in a brick courtyard off Lawrence Road, Amritsar, and sold them by estate name — never by weight.

Three decades later the courtyard is a roastery and the family is a tasting panel. Every blend is cupped eleven times before it earns a label; fewer than one in twenty lots we taste ever reaches this page.

“We are not selling caffeine. We are selling the ten minutes it buys you.”
Ishmeet Kaur Sahni Third generation · Head of roasting

07 — In their words

Kept by chefs, hoteliers and early risers.

“
We moved our whole espresso programme to Midnight Malabar. Guests ask what changed before they've finished the cup.
Rohan MalhotraHead Chef · Baradari, Chandigarh

“
The Kangra Silver is the only white tea I've found that needs nothing added. It arrives tasting like it was picked that week.
Aditi BhatnagarTea Sommelier · New Delhi

“
Nine years of subscriptions. Not once a flat bag. The little note about who picked it is why I've never left.
Priya RamanMember since 2017 · Ludhiana

We put the gift boxes in all forty rooms. It is the single most photographed object in the hotel.
