Koraput Coffee

Koraput Coffee, cultivated in the mist-laden hills of southern Odisha, quietly challenges India’s reputation as a tea-dominant nation. Grown at 3,000 feet by indigenous Paraja and Khond farmers, these shade-grown arabica beans absorb sal forest fragrances and monsoon clouds, yielding a cup that balances earthy cacao, ripe papaya sweetness and a hint of smoked cinnamon. Once sold as anonymous cherry, the coffee now carries a Geographical Indication tag, linking tribal livelihoods to global specialty markets and redefining café culture across the subcontinent.

MORE INFORMATION

Koraput Coffee, grown in the highlands of southern Odisha and marketed by TDCCOL at their Bhoi Nagar office in Bhubaneswar, brings the state’s tribal terroir to the cup: shade-grown arabica beans fermented with indigenous microflora yield a medium-bodied liquor laced with dark-cacao bitterness, jackfruit sweetness and a whiff of smoked pepper, a profile that has earned the co-operative a solid 4.4 rating and a growing following among Indian specialty drinkers.

More information

What makes Koraput Coffee different from other Indian coffees?

Koraput Coffee is hand-picked by tribal farmers in the Eastern Ghats of Odisha, where the high altitude and forest shade create a slow-growing bean that develops low acidity, chocolate-caramel notes, and a naturally sweet finish rarely found in mainstream Indian lots.

Where can I buy authentic Koraput Coffee beans or powder?

You can order 100 % authentic Koraput Coffee directly from the Tribal Development Co-operative Corporation of Odisha Ltd at TDCCOL Building, Rupali St, Bhoi Nagar, Bhubaneswar, Odisha 751022, or online at http://koraputcoffee.org/, where every pack is traceable to the micro-lot and roasted-to-order to lock in freshness.

Is Koraput Coffee certified organic and fair trade?

While the tribal growers follow organic-by-default practices—no chemicals, composted cherry husk, and intercropping with pepper and jackfruit—the brand is currently pursuing India Organic and Fairtrade certifications to formalize its sustainable and ethical supply chain.

How do I brew Koraput Coffee for the best flavour?

Use 18 g of medium-fine grounds per 250 ml of 92 °C water, steep for 4 min in a French press, and let the crust settle before pressing to highlight the nutmeg and cocoa notes; reviewers rate this method 4.4/5 for balance and body.
