CCL Products (India) Ltd., a leading coffee manufacturer, has announced the India launch of Percol, the iconic premium coffee brand from the UK. Acquired by CCL in 2023, Percol is now being introduced to Indian shelves with three freeze-dried instant coffee variants — Intenzo, Da Essenza, and Espresso Noir — each crafted for discerning coffee lovers.

Percol has a strong legacy dating back to 1987, when it was founded by Brian Chapman and became the first UK coffee brand to earn Fairtrade certification. Built on the pillars of quality, ethical sourcing, and sustainability, Percol has been a top choice among conscious consumers in the UK for over three decades. With this launch, CCL aims to bring that same heritage and experience to India’s evolving coffee market.Commenting on the launch, Praveen Jaipuriar, CEO, CCL Products (India) Ltd., said:
"The Indian coffee landscape is evolving rapidly, with consumers increasingly seeking sophisticated flavours and meaningful brand experiences. Percol represents not just premium coffee, but a philosophy that resonates with today's nuanced consumer, who is particular about the sophistication, depth and the value of the products they consume.”

The new variants - Intenzo, Da Essenza, and Espresso Noir, feature beans sourced from top global coffee regions including Colombia and Vietnam. Each 100g jar is designed to deliver a unique flavour profile, perfect for those who appreciate the finer notes of premium coffee.

In line with Percol’s sustainability-first approach, the products come in plastic-free, reusable glass jars, topped with metal lids, and packaged in premium matte-finish boxes featuring embossed design, spot-UV effects, and Percol’s signature vignette logo.

Percol is now available across leading e-commerce platforms and select retail outlets in Tier-1 cities of North and West India, marking a key step in CCL’s goal to premiumise the Indian at-home coffee experience while introducing global coffee culture to Indian consumers.

Coffee Sutra, the brainchild of celebrated restaurateur and culinary innovator Dushyant Singh, has officially launched its third café in Jaipur, ushering in a new wave of specialty coffee culture in India. Located in Malviya Nagar, the café opened on June 12, 2025, and promises an immersive sensory experience that celebrates craftsmanship, global coffee innovation, and conscious living.

Staying true to its core values of quality, sustainability, and cultural storytelling, the café offers internationally sourced single-origin beans—from Colombian and Peru Geisha to signature global blends—all roasted in-house at Coffee Sutra’s own roastery. The all-day menu features breakfast favourites, continental dishes, artisan baked goods, and handcrafted beverages, making it a lifestyle destination beyond just coffee.

The new outlet also doubles as a showcase of cutting-edge international brewing technologies. It introduces Indian coffee lovers to the Gabi Drip Master, a Korean pour-over device known for its precision in flavour extraction, the visually striking Cold Brew Drip Tower for smooth and nuanced extractions, and the Paragon Nucleus, a high-performance aroma-preserving system that captures the most delicate flavour notes.

Commenting on the milestone, Dushyant Singh, Founder of Coffee Sutra, said:

"Coffee Sutra was born from a simple but powerful idea: that coffee should be personal, meaningful and globally connected. With the launch of our third outlet, we are deepening that vision. This space is a celebration of the craftsmanship of the farmers, roasters, baristas and coffee lovers who bring our story to life. With globally renowned brewing equipment and ethically sourced beans, we are not just serving coffee—we are revolutionizing how India experiences it."

The café is open daily from 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM, offering cozy seating for 85 to 90 guests. True to its Jaipur roots, the café is designed in royal blue and gold, inspired by the city’s regal architecture. It stands as a hub for both connoisseurs and curious learners, featuring Coffee Lab workshops, barista training programs, and curated masterclasses.

Coffee Sutra has already partnered with hospitality giants such as Fairmont, Novotel, and Jamie Oliver Kitchen, further solidifying its reputation as a key player in India’s emerging specialty coffee movement. Sustainability remains at the heart of the brand, with initiatives like eco-friendly bamboo travel cups and traceable bean sourcing underscoring its commitment to conscious living.

Coffee Sutra’s third café is not just a place to sip coffee—it’s a space to explore, learn, and celebrate the journey of every bean from farm to cup.
