India may not be the first country you associate with coffee production, often over shadowed by countries who produce considerably less. Coming in at 6^th equal with Honduras for production in 2021 at 767,208,000 pounds ahead of favourites such as Kenya(16th) and our favourite, Rwanda (30^th). We first featured an Indian coffee during March 2021, feature #29. A memorable coffee for all the right reasons. Its come with great anticipation that today we crack into another coffee from India, this time from Altura Coffee Co with help from Langdon Coffee Merchants. We hadn’t had the pleasure of working with Langdons before, but its safe to say, we cannot wait to share some more of their coffees in the future as they’ve been amazing during the process of putting this together. And on a purely selfish note, it opens up a whole host of new producers to showcase in the future and continue our coffee journey.
