From bean to cup, and everything in between.
Rooted in Heritage, Powered by Innovation.
LunyBee began with a simple belief that great coffee is only possible when every part of the chain works better, together.From our five generations family-owned estates to international judging panels, from experimental fermentations to barista trainings, we’ve spent years doing the work on the ground. This platform brings all of that together — to support producers, empower cafés, and make specialty coffee more accessible to all.

Our Portfolio
About Chandini D P
Founder, Lunybee
As a fifth-generation specialty coffee producer from India, my journey in coffee has taken many forms, each one driven by a deep passion for the bean and a desire to contribute meaningfully to the industry.
From nurturing our family-owned estates to establishing a cutting-edge Coffee Processing Research Institute, I’ve been fortunate to work across every stage of the coffee value chain. Along the way, I’ve also launched coffee-led eco-tourism and hospitality ventures, founded LunyBee—a platform that brings together all these efforts and co-founded First Coffee, our cafe venture.
Through LunyBee, we now offer end-to-end services for producers, cafes, and consumers alike, truly everything from bean to cup. My work is shaped by a blend of global exposure and local heritage. I’m a certified Q Grader, Q Processing Professional, and CQI Lecturer, and lead a private research
institute dedicated to advancing post-harvest processing practices. This work plays a vital role in helping regional producers elevate their quality and unlock greater value for their coffee.
I’m also honoured to serve as a judge for the World Coffee Championships (WCC) across Barista, Brewers Cup, Latte Art, and Coffee in Good Spirits. As a board member of the Specialty Coffee Association of India (SCAI), I help strengthen competition frameworks and industry standards within the country.
At the heart of it all, coffee remains my purpose and my passion—a crop that continues to inspire, challenge, and connect people around the world. I remain committed to pushing boundaries, while staying deeply rooted in the legacy that brought me here.
