In the heart of Goa, where the sun-kissed beaches meet the tranquil waves, a unique tale of passion and perseverance began to unfold. It was a story that revolved around a love for coffee, a desire for excellence, and the audacity to turn dreams into reality.

Meet Mrs. Devika Dutt, a woman whose journey from the bustling financial world to the aromatic realms of coffee was nothing short of extraordinary. In 2011, along with her husband, she embarked on a new adventure, bidding farewell to their thriving business in Singapore to seek a more serene life in Goa. Their plan was simple yet bold: open a small café where they could freshly roast coffee beans and create a haven for coffee enthusiasts.

The story truly took off in August 2017. Contrary to retirement plans, the couple found themselves busier than ever before. Their small café had blossomed into something much grander – the DEVI Coffee brand, which was now recognized as the fastest growing premium Indian coffee brand. What began as a vision had transformed into a reality that not only captivated the taste buds of connoisseurs but also transcended geographical boundaries.

DEVI Coffee was not just about coffee; it was about craftsmanship and passion. With over thirty types of specialty and single origin coffees sourced directly from South Indian farms, each cup of DEVI Coffee was a masterpiece in itself. The journey of every coffee bean, from the lush coffee estates of Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu to the roasting drums of Sussegado Coffee, was a labor of love. The commitment to excellence was evident in every sip.

The inception of Sussegado Coffee was sparked by a disappointing cup of coffee during a holiday in Goa in 2010. Devika and her husband decided that they could do better. They envisioned a brand that would encapsulate the essence of "taking it easy," which is what the term "Sussegado" stood for in Goan-Portuguese. The brand's logo, sketched on a napkin in 2011, marked the beginning of a journey filled with dedication and creativity.

Their journey was fueled by the pursuit of perfection. The first roaster, imported from Europe, signaled the start of their roasting journey. The aroma of freshly roasted coffee began to fill local stores and restaurants in Goa. The first batch of coffee, a humble 1kg of Arabica Peaberry Coffee from Coorg, became a cherished relic, a testament to the company's origins.

Months turned into endless coffee estate visits, cuppings, tastings, and sleepless nights. And then, like a finely brewed potion, the DEVI Coffee line emerged. It was a harmonious blend of devotion, exploration, and innovation. The company's commitment to quality led them to be the first in Asia to offer whisky, rum, and tequila barrel aged coffees, pushing the boundaries of coffee experimentation.

The DEVI brand and logo, a fusion of Devika's name and the image of two elephants, told a story of its own. Inspired by a wild elephant seen by Devika's husband during a morning in the coffee plantations of Karnataka, the logo embodied strength, grace, and the wild beauty of nature.

Today, Sussegado Coffee's DEVI brand graces the shelves of gourmet stores not only across India but also beyond borders. The 5-star hotels in India have found a favorite in DEVI Coffee, a testament to its superior quality. Devika and her husband remain intricately involved in every aspect of the business, ensuring that each order is freshly roasted and dispatched, delivering an experience that's as fresh as the dawn.

As the aroma of DEVI Coffee wafts through cafes, homes, and the bustling kitchens of gourmet restaurants, it carries with it the essence of a dream turned into reality. Sussegado Coffee, born from disappointment, nurtured by dedication, and enriched by innovation, continues to be the embodiment of excellence in every cup. It's not just about coffee; it's about a journey that reminds us to "take it easy" and savor every moment, just like a cup of DEVI Coffee.
