Indian Green Coffee for French Roasters and Importers
Specialty Arabica and commercial Indian green coffee — export-ready for France's growing specialty coffee market.
Sourcing Indian Green Coffee in France
France's coffee culture is undergoing a genuine transformation — Paris and Lyon now host world-class specialty roasters alongside the traditional café crème culture. French buyers are increasingly interested in origin transparency, processing diversity, and single-origin storytelling. Indian lots offer something the dominant African and Latin American origins cannot: an entirely different geography, an unexpected flavour profile, and a supply chain that starts far from the beaten path.

Why Source Green Coffee from India?
Shade-Grown by Default
Nearly all Indian coffee grows under silver oak, pepper vines, and native jungle trees — producing slower-ripened cherries with more concentrated flavour.
Multiple Process Types
Natural, Washed, Honey Sun-Dried (HSD), and Monsooned Malabar — more processing variety than most single-country origins.
Genuine Traceability
We source directly from tribal cooperatives in Koraput, small-holder farms in Assam, and estates in Karnataka — with origin documentation to district level.
Competitive Pricing
Commercial AA/AAA from ₹800/kg. Specialty lots from ₹1,100/kg. Strong quality-to-cost value compared to equivalent Ethiopian or Colombian origins.
Export Infrastructure
India exports coffee to 80+ countries. We handle phytosanitary certificates, fumigation reports, GrainPro packaging, and all export documentation.
Arabica & Robusta
India produces both Arabica (high-altitude specialty) and Robusta (bold espresso and instant). One supplier for all your green coffee needs.
