Indian Green Coffee for Swiss Specialty Roasters
Premium and rare Indian Arabica origins for Switzerland's discerning specialty coffee market.
Sourcing Indian Green Coffee in Switzerland
Switzerland punches above its weight in specialty coffee — Zurich, Geneva, and Basel host a disproportionate number of world-class roasters, SCA-certified buyers, and specialty café groups. Swiss buyers are particularly interested in rare, high-scoring origins with compelling provenance stories. Indian lots from Halflong, Bababudangiri, and Koraput are rarely found in Swiss green coffee catalogues — representing a clear differentiation opportunity.

Shipping & Import Details for Switzerland
Shipping
Sea freight from India to Basel (via Rotterdam or Hamburg) takes approximately 20–26 days. Air freight to Zurich is available for sample orders. Switzerland has no seaport — all sea freight arrives via German or Dutch ports and transits by truck. We recommend consolidating with a European freight forwarder for cost efficiency.
Import & Customs
Switzerland is not in the EU and has its own customs framework. Green coffee (HS 0901.11.00) attracts 0% duty under Switzerland's autonomous tariff for unprocessed agricultural goods. Your Swiss customs agent will handle clearance. We provide full Swiss customs documentation including certificate of origin.
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.

Our Halflong Arabica SL-9 Naturals from Dima Hasao, Assam consistently scores 89 SCA. Koraput HSD scores 88 and Bababudangiri Arabica scores 86. All specialty lots come with cupping notes. Swiss roasters have found the Halflong and Bababudangiri origins particularly unusual and marketable.
