India’s green coffee plantations are concentrated in the southern states, particularly Karnataka, which produces the majority of the country’s coffee, followed by Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Key growing regions include Karnataka’s Kodagu (Coorg) and Chikmagalur districts, and Kerala’s Wayanad region, with the Western Ghats providing the ideal high-altitude conditions for varieties like Arabica and Robusta.

Types of Coffee Grown:

• Arabica:Grown in high-altitude regions, known for its well-rounded flavor profiles with notes of chocolate, caramel, and citrus. 
• Robusta:Grown in lower-lying areas, such as the Vanard district of Kerala. 
• These beans are processed using wet or dry methods to remove the pulp and outer wax layer.
• Green coffee is sold as a nutritional supplement due to its chlorogenic acid content, which is associated with weight loss properties.
