Our story
We traded clinics and courtrooms for coffee cherries and fermentation tanks, then began building Vismaya one harvest, one experiment, and one cup at a time.
First-generation planters
We did not inherit generations of coffee wisdom. That makes us beginners in the truest and most energising sense, constantly observing, measuring, tasting, questioning, and learning from the people around us.
Our hope is to build a community where growers, roasters, brewers, baristas, researchers, and coffee lovers exchange ideas freely. Great coffee, to us, is born from curiosity, collaboration, and the willingness to keep learning.
Field & cultivation
Lawyer · Coffee roaster · Planter
Vishal traded the roastery for the plantation. Today, he works to understand our terroir through a scientific approach, improving soil health, managing shade, experimenting with cultivation, and making thoughtful decisions long before harvest begins.

Post-harvest & sensory
Ophthalmologist · Processor · Sensory practitioner
Manasa's curiosity found a home in post-harvest processing: fermentation trials, microbial cultures, drying protocols, cupping, sensory analysis, and storytelling. She has completed SCA Sensory Skills Intermediate and keeps exploring how science shapes flavour.

Different responsibilities
Coffee brought us together in a way we never imagined. Now it gives us a common language for asking better questions.
What our name means
Vismaya is a Kannada and Sanskrit word for wonder, that quiet feeling when something beautiful stops you in your tracks. It resonates with both our names and with what coffee continues to reveal to us.
