01Winter
Pruning
Snow on the terraces. Every tree is opened up by hand so that light can reach the fruit that does not exist yet.
Grown ona slope.
Our orchards sit on terraces cut into the side of a Himalayan valley. Everything about the fruit — its colour, its firmness, its bite — comes from where it stands.

A taste of a place
A tasteof a place.
High in the Himalayas, where mountains rise above ancient villages and orchards grow along steep valleys, Kinnaur has a taste of its own.
Here, cold mountain nights, bright Himalayan days, clean air, mountain soil and generations of orchard tradition come together to shape something distinctive.

From the orchard
From ourorchards.
From our orchards in Kinnaur, we carefully select and present fruit that reflects the character of this Himalayan land.
01 / 06
01
The mountain
Steep valleys, thin air, and light that arrives late and leaves early.
02
The orchard
Terraces cut into the slope, worked by the same families for generations.
03
The tree
Pruned in winter, thinned in summer, watched through every season.
04
The apple
Cold nights and bright days give the fruit its colour and its bite.
05
The hands
Picked by hand, at the moment the fruit is ready — not before.
06
The pack
Graded, laid in trays, and sent onward to a table that knows where it came from.
A year in the orchard
A year behindevery apple.
Twelve months of work sit behind a single box. This is what they look like, season by season.
02Spring
Flowering
The valley turns white for a fortnight. Everything that follows depends on these few days of weather.
03Early summer
Thinning
Young fruit is deliberately removed so that what remains has room, light and flavour.
04Summer
Protection & care
Hail nets, irrigation, orchard floors kept clean. The work is quiet and it does not stop.
05Monsoon
Growing
Rain arrives, the fruit swells, and the mountain does most of the work on its own.
06Harvest
Picking
Fruit is picked by hand over several passes, taking only what is ready on that day.
07Packing
Selection
Sorted, graded and laid into trays. What is not good enough for our own table does not travel.

A box arrives, and a year in a Himalayan orchard finally reaches the person it was grown for.
