The namesake

NAME Indian Moon Moth

BINOMIAL NAME Actias selene

CONSERVATION STATUS Unknown!

WHY LUNA The Luna or Indian Moon Moth is one of the largest moths in India, with a wingspan of up to 5 inches. Lunas are romantic busybodies at dusk, flying to and from each other with alacrity. Their long, trailing tails serve as a defence mechanism against predation by bats! Basically, the tails reflect bat sonar and misdirect bat attacks away from the moth’s vital body parts. They are also prolific silk producers, once common but now more endangered. Scientists believe that Lepidoptera (fancy word for moths and butterflies) are good indicators of the health of a forest. That’s why we grin with glee when we sight them in coffee farms!

FAQs

Have questions? We’ve got answers! Here are some of the questions people have had about Luna. If you have more, check out our FAQs page or feel free to contact us!

How does Luna taste different from your other coffees? -

As a pure Robusta coffee, the Luna has a strong, bold, and somewhat bitter flavour profile. It often features earthy, woody, and nutty notes, with a heavier body and a distinct sharpness. Due to its higher caffeine content and natural bitterness, it lacks the acidity and nuanced flavours common in Arabica, making it ideal for espresso blends where a thick crema and a robust kick are desired or a filter coffee - either traditional South India or Vietnamese-style!

Are all your coffees organic? -

While not all our coffees are certified organic, every kilo we source and roast is grown without chemical pesticides, fertilisers, weedicides, or fungicides. Organic certification can be prohibitively expensive for the smallholder producers we work with, but we ensure our practices align with organic principles. You can view a lab report here.

What is the best way to store this coffee? -

The best way to store your coffee is in an airtight, opaque container kept in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. For optimal freshness, we recommend transferring the coffee from its biodegradable bag into an airtight canister. We suggest that you avoid storing coffee in a fridge or freezer. Moving beans in and out of the freezer every time you make coffee can introduce moisture to the beans, resulting in potential mold growth and degradation of the coffee.

Do you have light, medium and dark roast options? -

We offer a variety of roast levels, including dark, medium, and light, each highlighting unique flavour profiles. Dark roasts are rich and robust with deep, chocolatey notes, medium roasts balance natural flavours with a smooth body, and light roasts are bright and aromatic, preserving the beans' natural acidity. Whether you prefer bold, balanced or delicate flavours, we've got you covered!

Why are there white flakes when I grind my coffee? -

The light tan flakes you see are coffee chaff, a natural by-product of the roasting process. Chaff is a parchment-like layer from the centre of the coffee bean and is more noticeable in lighter roasts, as darker roasts burn off most of it. When ground, chaff appears as lighter specks mixed with coffee grounds—it’s perfectly safe to brew and won’t affect your coffee or grinder.
