Green Coffee Beans Exporter India — Premium Arabica, Robusta & Monsooned Malabar
Coffea arabica & Coffea canephora (Robusta) | Family: Rubiaceae
UnitedSpices is a dedicated green coffee beans exporter in India, sourcing from shade-grown estates across Karnataka's Coorg and Chikmagalur hills, Kerala's Wayanad plateau and Tamil Nadu's own Nilgiris — the same coffee belt that has supplied European roasters for generations. We export both washed and natural-processed Arabica and Robusta, alongside genuine Monsooned Malabar, the low-acid, full-bodied style unique to India's coffee coast, cured the traditional way over 12 to 16 weeks of monsoon humidity rather than any artificial process.

About Our Premium Green Coffee Beans
India's coffee belt runs along the Western Ghats — Karnataka's Coorg (Kodagu) and Chikmagalur districts alone account for well over half of national production, with Kerala's Wayanad plateau and Tamil Nadu's Nilgiris and Pulney hills contributing smaller, high-grown lots. Most estates here still follow a shade-grown tradition, with coffee planted under native rainforest canopy and often intercropped with black pepper and cardamom vines — a growing system that has barely changed in over a century.
Robusta dominates India's total output and grows well at lower elevations, while Arabica is reserved for the higher, cooler slopes. We offer both washed (parchment) processing, where the cherry is pulped, fermented and sun-dried, and natural (cherry) processing, where the whole fruit is dried before hulling. We also handle genuine Monsooned Malabar — beans deliberately exposed to the Malabar coast's monsoon humidity for 12 to 16 weeks until they swell and turn pale gold, a Geographical Indication-protected process that cannot be replicated outside India. Everything is processed and documented under the same quality standards we apply across our spice and superfood range.

Our Quality Commitment
At UnitedSpices, quality is the foundation of every export shipment. Every lot of green coffee leaving our facility is checked for moisture, defect count and bean size before it is graded and cupped against Coffee Board of India and ISO 10470 standards.
Because a roaster ultimately judges coffee in the cup, not on paper, we treat cupping as a quality control step in its own right — reference lots are tasted before dispatch, and Monsooned Malabar batches get extra attention through their 12-to-16-week humidity curing, since timing and ventilation decide whether a lot reaches true Monsooned character or simply turns musty.
We maintain complete batch traceability from estate to port, and all quality and export documentation accompanies every consignment. Custom specifications are welcomed — we can meet EU, Codex Alimentarius and FSSAI requirements simultaneously, and arrange cupping samples ahead of any bulk order.
