Description: The plant has evergreen leaves, dense clusters of flowers at the base of leaves and red, fleshy berries. Each berry has two seeds covered with a thin parchment which has to be winnowed or milled before roasting, after the outer pulp has been removed.

In India coffee grows at medium to moderately high altitudes on the slopes of the mountain ranges called the Western Ghats. India offers both varieties of Arabicas and Robustas of premium quality, which are not only selectively hand picked, but also subjected to only sun drying.

Coffee productivity in India is around 960 kg per hectare and the total production is approximately 5.0 million bags, accounting for about 4.4% of world global production. The principal buyers of Indian coffee are Italy, C.I.S., Germany, Belgium, Spain and the U.S.
