Four origins, four very different cups

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.

900–1,350m · Chandragiri, S795, local heirlooms

Assam — North East India

Halflong

India's newest specialty frontier — high-altitude SL-9 Arabica from the North Cachar Hills, largely absent from green coffee catalogues a decade ago.

1,000–1,200m · SL-9

Assam / Arunachal Pradesh — North East India

Chirang & Tirap

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

300–700m · CxR (Robusta hybrid)

Karnataka — South India

Chikmagalur & Bababudangiri

The historic birthplace of Indian coffee — legend holds that Sufi saint Baba Budan smuggled seven Arabica seeds here from Yemen in the 1600s.

1,000–1,500m · S795, Catuai, SLN 9, local heirlooms
