It is not by accident that Tata Coffee produces the finest coffees. Endowed with nature's bounty in the form of rich soils, luxuriant tropical tree cover, abundant sunshine and rainfall, Tata Coffee has combined these with its drive for quality to produce fine coffees that form a part of the blends of the most discerning roasters in specialty markets worldwide. All of this is done with the Tata philosophy of care for people and environment.

Tata Coffee's operations span the entire value chain from growing the coffee on its own farms to processing them at its mill to supplying gourmet roasters.

Tata Coffee grows both, Arabica & Robusta and processes the coffee to produce Washed and Unwashed coffees. Each step of the chain is carefully managed to enhance the quality of the final product while protecting the environment. Ripe cherries are identified and hand-picked to avoid damage to the fruit, fermented, washed and dried for the right number of hours appropriate to the elevation and humidity of the estate. A dedicated R&D lab (the only one in the private sector) has developed SOP's for each step in the process chain.

At our ISO9000:22000 certified dry mill and accredited QA lab, each lot is tasted by experienced cuppers. Coffee is milled according to the standards of the Coffee Board of India as well as the special requirements of individual buyers.

In short, every step in the chain is fully controlled by Tata Coffee which results in a superior quality product. Our product portfolio includes Fine Single estate coffees, Monsooned coffees and other premium qualities.

Being entirely shade grown and sun-dried, trees are preserved and energy consumption is kept to the bare minimum. Tata Coffee is a carbon negative organization having a carbon sink of 169,259 tons per carbon emission equivalent.

A testimony to our care for nature, people and quality is the triple certification of all 19 coffee estates: Rainforest Alliance, SA8000 and Utz. And the numerous awards won at various international cupping competitions
