Indian Robusta Coffee

Robusta coffee (Coffea canephora) is known for its strong flavor, higher caffeine content, and resistance to pests and diseases compared to Arabica beans. It typically has a more bitter and earthy taste compared to Arabica.

India and Vietnam are some of the top producers and world suppliers of Robusta coffee. In India, the southern states of Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu are the primary regions where Robusta is cultivated. Karnataka, particularly the Coorg region, is famous for its Robusta production.

Robusta coffee thrives in hot climates with consistent rainfall. The Western Ghats mountain range in southern India provides suitable conditions for Robusta cultivation, with its humid climate and fertile soil.

Robusta coffee is typically grown at lower altitudes compared to Arabica, often between sea level and 800 meters. Indian farmers usually cultivate Robusta using traditional methods, including shade-grown techniques and organic farming practices. After harvesting, the coffee cherries undergo processing, which can involve either the dry or wet method depending on the preference of the farmer.

Indian Robusta beans are commonly used in espresso blends due to their strong flavor profile and high caffeine content. They are also utilized in instant coffee production.
