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.
