About IndianCoffeeBeans.com

India's first comprehensive, independent directory for specialty coffee

The Platform

IndianCoffeeBeans.com is India's first comprehensive, independent directory for specialty coffee roasters and their offerings. We're building a user-first, research-friendly resource that helps home brewers discover, compare, and enjoy the rapidly growing Indian specialty coffee scene.

In a country with over 300,000 coffee growers and a legacy dating back to the 17th century, finding your perfect Indian coffee shouldn't require endless scrolling through social media or relying on which brands have the biggest marketing budgets.

Our platform focuses on what matters: transparent information about beans, processing methods, flavor profiles, and brewing recommendations - all in one place.

Our Mission

We're building a home for Indian coffee lovers — where discovery is easy, information is honest, and every sip feels intentional.

Fair Discovery

Highlight every quality Indian roaster — not just the loudest or most followed. Great coffee shouldn't hide behind algorithms.

Smarter Choices

Explore beans by what really matters — flavor, process, roast, brew style — and feel confident in every bag you buy.

Powered by Community

Real reviews, shared brews, and lived experiences — because coffee should be shaped by people, not promotions.

The Indian Coffee Landscape

Map of Indian coffee regions

Coffee Growing Regions of India

India's coffee story is one of remarkable diversity and hidden potential:

Rich History: Coffee cultivation in India dates back to 1670 when Baba Budan smuggled seven coffee beans from Yemen and planted them in the hills of Karnataka.
Unique Growing Conditions: Indian coffee typically grows under shade (unlike many global regions), creating distinctive flavor profiles.
Regional Diversity: From the spice-influenced beans of Kerala to the chocolate notes of Tamil Nadu coffees.
Processing Innovation: India is known for its unique monsooned coffees, exposed to monsoon winds to create low-acidity, full-bodied brews.

Quick Facts

Favorite Brew Method:Inverted AeroPress
Preferred Roast:Dark
Coffee Epiphany:Italy, 2012

This platform was born from my personal coffee journey, which has had a few pivotal moments:

It all began with the comfort of South Indian filter coffee - those childhood mornings waking up to its distinctive aroma remain some of my fondest memories. Years later in 2012, I spent 6-7 months in Italy, where I fell under the spell of their espresso culture.

But it wasn't until after the pandemic that my casual interest evolved into something deeper. Like many coffee journeys, mine started humbly – with instant coffee – and gradually expanded to a full brewing station and a growing collection of beans.

As a sales and marketing professional by trade, I approached this project from the user's perspective. What would I have wanted when I was just starting my specialty coffee journey? The answer was simple: a straightforward, comprehensive resource focused on Indian coffee, free from marketing noise.

A huge shoutout to r/IndianCoffee which served as my primary source of information as I navigated India's coffee landscape. This directory is my way of giving back to that community.
