India's Robusta reputation is built on regions like Coorg and Wayanad, both well represented here, alongside the country's distinctive Monsooned Malabar process, which mellows Robusta's usual sharpness into something heavier and smoother. 17AD Coffee and Mountain Brewed Coffee sell single-origin Wayanad Robusta with no Arabica blended in — if you want to taste Robusta at its best rather than as a filler in a blend, start with a single-origin lot rather than a generic blend.

Frequently asked questions
Is Indian Robusta considered lower quality than Arabica?+
That reputation is outdated for washed and monsooned Indian Robusta specifically. India is internationally regarded as a benchmark Robusta origin, and single-origin lots from Wayanad and Coorg are grown and processed with the same care as specialty Arabica.
What's the caffeine difference?+
Robusta contains roughly double the caffeine of Arabica, along with a bolder, more bitter flavour and thicker crema, which is why it's common in espresso blends and traditional South Indian filter coffee.
