Many cultures throughout the world are known for their ‘specialties.’ Panama hats are a hallmark of Ecuador; stylish kilts are a trademark of Scotland, and so on. Along with Colombia, Brazil, and Costa Rica, one could argue that some of the finest organic coffee comes from India. Over the past centuries, India has placed a premium on its organic coffee and rightfully so. The majority of its organic coffee production is limited to a narrow strip of land across three states producing both Arabica and Robusta coffee, some of the best tasting in the business.

Coffee plantations in India are primarily organic coffee producers. The country has an elaborate system for its organic coffee to grow under the most optimal conditions using shade grown trees that evolve inside a grouping of wild trees placed specifically for the purpose of production. Shade grown trees are surrounded by three different types of trees that assist in enriching the soil, keeping soil temperatures low, and filtering UV radiation. This third tree, a hardwood, does the job of filtering sunlight to stimulate organic coffee bean sugars for great taste.

Indian organic coffee plantations are one of the few in the world with a systematic procedure where other trees are added to aid the main shade grown tree. It has been raved as a harmonious feat in nature. By mixing crops and trees, it enriches the soil for now and for the future. In addition, organic coffee is its own industry in India with millions of people acting as farmers. They are also harvesters, hand picking Indian organic coffee to perfection. Today, when buying delicious Arabica Indian organic coffee, rest assured you are drinking from the sixth largest coffee producer in the world who grew out of a mid-twentieth century slump in their coffee to become one of the most renowned today.
