India Green Coffee

Indian coffee is unique for its smooth, balanced flavours, including notes of spice, earthiness, and chocolate. Indian coffee benefits from the country’s high altitudes, lush monsoon climates, and volcanic soils. These factors combine to produce coffee with a smooth, well-rounded taste, often with a mild acidity and spicy, earthy, and smoky flavour notes. It is also recognised for its distinct processing methods, including washed, natural, and monsooned processes, which reduces acidity and adds a distinct sweetness and earthiness. With its diverse regions and unique processing methods, Indian coffee delivers a truly distinctive experience.

India has several regions that produce high quality coffee:
Karnataka, India’s largest coffee-producing state, accounts for over two-thirds of the country’s total coffee cultivation. The majority of this cultivation takes place in the picturesque Western Ghats which is renowned for its shade-grown coffee, nurtured in the region's nutrient-rich soil, which helps produce beans with complex and nuanced flavors. Karnataka’s ideal weather and altitude create perfect growing conditions for both Arabica and Robusta varieties, solidifying its reputation as the heart of India’s coffee production.
In Kerala, mainly robusta beans are cultivated. In the Wayanad district, Robusta beans are grown which have a high level of acidity and body whereas Idukki and Palakkad Arabica beans are also grown.
In Tamil Nadu, low temperatures and highly fertile soil leads to coffee with a strong acidity and fruity flavours.
Andhra Pradesh is a tribal region known for producing high quality, organic coffee with a rich flavour and chocolatey notes.
Odisha has the perfect conditions for growing Arabica coffee (cool climate, high altitude, and rich soils) with a focus on sustainability farming initiatives.

India boasts a rich selection of coffee varietals, each with unique flavours and characteristics that reflect the country’s diverse growing regions.
Kent beans, the first Arabica variety grown in India, are prized for their delicate acidity and notes of nuts and dark chocolate. Though grown in limited areas today, they remain a symbol of exceptional quality.
Selection 795 is India’s most popular Arabica varietal. Known for its bold beans and superior quality, it often delivers flavors of maple syrup, caramel, and brown sugar, particularly in darker roasts.
Catimor is a Bourbon mutation that offers a bright, crisp profile with medium body, a fine aroma, and a vibrant citrus aftertaste, perfect for those who enjoy a lively cup.
Selection 9, an award-winning Ethiopian derivative, combines flavours of nuts, orange, lemon, caramel, chocolate, and mandarin, offering a complex and refined coffee experience.
