Premium Indian Coffee

Sri Trading Company coffee is a premier selection of authentic Indian coffee, primarily sourced from the traditional, high-altitude growing regions of Karnataka, India. This collection is widely recognized in domestic and international markets for its exceptional cup profile, rich body, and distinct regional characteristics, making it highly sought after for both premium standalone roasts and specialty blending applications. Backed by rigorous processing standards, Sri Trading Company coffee highlights the unique geographical terroir, traditional sun-drying and wet-processing methods, and strict grading practices that define the world-class reputation of Indian Arabica and Robusta.

Arabica Plantation coffee represents premium quality, wet-processed (washed) Indian Arabica beans. This category includes India’s highest specialty grade, Mysore Nuggets Extra Bold, and is meticulously graded by bean size and strict retention tolerances to ensure exceptional uniformity and a clean cup profile.
