Ghats & Grove sources and exports distinctive Indian coffees, bringing carefully selected origins and producers from India’s coffee-growing regions to roasters and coffee buyers around the world…
Across the coffee-growing landscapes of Kodagu, Chikkamagaluru, Hassan and Sakleshpur, coffee is shaped by a natural balance of elevation, monsoon, shade and sunlight. Together, these elements create the distinctive growing environment of the Western Ghats.
The Western Ghats produce coffees known for their smooth body, rich aroma, balanced character, and lingering finish. Common flavor notes include dark chocolate, cocoa, roasted nuts, caramel, warm spices, and subtle fruit, with the final profile influenced by elevation, processing, variety, and roast.
Arabica coffees tend to be aromatic and refined, offering gentle acidity, natural sweetness, and nuanced fruit, floral, chocolate, and nutty notes.
Robusta coffees are typically bolder and fuller-bodied, with deep cocoa, dark chocolate, roasted nut, earthy, and spice notes, along with lower perceived acidity and naturally higher caffeine.
Within these two main species, the Western Ghats cultivate distinctive selections such as S.795, Selection 9, Cauvery, and Chandragiri Arabicas, along with CxR and other Robusta selections.
Where altitude slows time.
High in the Western Ghats, elevation brings cooler growing conditions that allow coffee cherries to develop more gradually. This slower journey toward ripeness gives the fruit more time to mature, helping build sweetness, complexity and character in the cup.
Where the rains awaken the land.
Seasonal monsoon rains sweep across the Ghats, replenishing the soil and sustaining the lush landscapes in which coffee grows. The rains nourish the plants, support healthy cherry development and form an essential part of the region’s natural growing cycle.
Where coffee grows beneath a living canopy.
Coffee flourishes beneath layers of natural shade, surrounded by trees and rich biodiversity. The grove shelters the plants from extremes of heat and sunlight, creating a cooler, more stable environment where cherries can mature slowly and naturally.
Where light finds its way through the leaves.
Filtered through the canopy above, gentle tropical sunlight reaches the coffee below. This interplay of light and shade encourages gradual, even ripening—helping the cherries develop natural sweetness and balanced flavor.
Mountain. Monsoon. Grove. Sunshine.
Four elements working in harmony, shaping coffee from the Western Ghats from cherry to cup.
Our journey begins across Karnataka's established coffee-growing regions, working with estates, growers and trusted sourcing partners. Each lot is selected based on origin, crop year, coffee type, processing method, physical characteristics and cup potential.
Selected coffees undergo careful curing, grading, cleaning and sorting before physical evaluation. Each lot is assessed for moisture, screen size, density, defects, bean condition and uniformity to ensure it meets the required specification.
Sample roasting and cupping reveal the character of each coffee through its aroma, flavour, acidity, body and finish. Every lot is then identified through a traceable chain of origin, region, crop year, processing, grade and lot, extending further where information is available.
Approved coffees are built into clearly defined export lots with documented origin, grade, processing, physical specifications and cup evaluation. Final sampling, quality confirmation and applicable export documentation prepare each lot for shipment to buyers worldwide.
Our product portfolio is being prepared for future lots. Specifications below are placeholders and will be updated as individual coffees become available.
