Indian Coffee

Indian coffee stands apart from that of Colombia, Brazil, Kenya, Vietnam, and Ethiopia due to its distinctive cultivation methods, rich flavour profile, and environmental sustainability.

Indian coffee is among the few in the world that is shade-grown - cultivated under tree canopies rather than direct sunlight. This method enhances the flavour profile, producing more complex and delicious coffee. Shade-grown coffee also supports biodiversity, conserves water, and mitigates deforestation. By creating a natural ecosystem, it fosters a habitat for insects, birds, and wildlife while also reducing the carbon footprint through carbon dioxide sequestration.
