AIP x Bili Hu
In collaboration with Bili Hu Coffee, we introduced a fresh blend celebrating the transport networks and trucks that carry coffee across vast distances. Featuring the Drishti Bommai, hand-painted by the late Raj Dongre, the packaging brings the visual language of Indian trucking into the everyday ritual of coffee. The first release was produced as a limited-edition batch, with a larger run now in the works and soon to be available for purchase.
We also spent a day with truck drivers at Sanjay Gandhi Transport Nagar, inviting them to taste the coffee they help carry across India for the first time. Many transport coffee from Karnataka to different corners of the country, yet had never actually drunk it themselves. Sitting inside their trucks, we brewed AIP x Bili Hu drip bags and shared an afternoon of first reactions, stories, and conversation. It became a small but meaningful way of closing the loop between the people who move coffee and the culture that grows around it. Check it here
