Coffee from India

Spice land meets coffee culture

India - Coffee Among the Spices

India is the world's sixth-largest coffee producer. Indian coffee often grows under shade trees among spice plants - cardamom, pepper, and vanilla lend some coffees subtle spice notes.

Growing Regions

Karnataka (Coorg, Chikmagalur) - 70% of production
Kerala (Wayanad) - Robusta stronghold
Tamil Nadu (Nilgiri Hills) - mild, floral Arabicas

Monsooned Malabar

India's most famous specialty: green coffee is exposed to monsoon rains, causing beans to swell, lose their acidity, and develop a unique, earthy, spicy character. Perfect for espresso lovers.
