India Green Coffee: Bold, Historic, and Unapologetically Unique

India is a global powerhouse in Robusta coffee, ranking fifth in total coffee production and offering a significant share of Arabica as well. Its coffee industry is deeply rooted in history and myth—most famously the story of Baba Budan, a 17th-century pilgrim who smuggled seven coffee seeds from Yemen into southern India. Today, India green coffee thrives across the Western Ghats, where shade-grown cultivation and biodiverse ecosystems yield bold, earthy flavor profiles.

 

India is also known for its distinctive Monsooned Malabar—a process where harvested beans are exposed to monsoon winds and humidity, swelling the beans and muting their acidity. Some roasters prize the funky, woody, and spicy nuances of Monsooned coffee, while others debate whether these flavors reflect terroir or flawed processing. Either way, India coffee offers something few other origins can: a wild, low-acid profile that stands out in a crowd. Whether you’re sourcing clean, consistent Robusta for blending or looking for adventurous lots with a story to tell, India’s wholesale green coffee beans deliver complexity, history, and bold character.
