Odisha — East India
Koraput
A tribal-farmed plateau in the Eastern Ghats, largely unknown outside India, producing forest-grown Arabica with almost no chemical inputs.
A field guide to India's green coffee origins.
India grows more coffee than most buyers realise — shade-grown Arabica from tribal farms in Odisha, young specialty plantings in Assam's hill districts, and the century-old estates around Chikmagalur where Indian coffee began. This is a guide to where it comes from, how it's processed, and what to expect in the cup.

Chirang & Tirap
Lower-elevation Robusta from the Assam–Arunachal border, grown as a smallholder cash crop between tea gardens and forest reserve land.
