Premium Specialty Coffee

The multitude of Indian specialty coffee

The term specialty coffee or gourmet coffee, was first introduced in 1974 by Ema Knuset, as a way to describe coffee beans of superior quality with unmatched flavor and aroma. Quantified through a coffee scoring system, the Q scale, coffee beans can only be classified as gourmet when scoring above 80 on the 100 points scale.

At Eteakol, specialty coffee encompasses much more than a score. Our aim is to list a multitude of these rare coffees originating from different regions of the Indian subcontinent from producers dedicated to their craft. When you buy gourmet coffee on Eteakol, you buy from producers focusing on growing a superior quality coffee that is sustainable and ethical.

From the very famous Monsooned Malabar, to the Robusta Kaapi Royale and the tribal Araku coffee, our large selection of specialty coffee beans will be the perfect choice to add to your menu.
Shade grown in the perfect altitude and with the utmost care, each coffee cherry bean is handpicked and hand processed, to produce unique coffees with a multitude of flavors and complex layers of aroma.

Sustainable and ethical artisanal coffee

We focus on listing coffee producers that combine high quality coffee with sustainability. Each producer is chosen based on their fulfillment of the UN SDG 17 goals for sustainability to give you the transparency you need as a coffee roastery or coffee shop, to source the best specialty coffee produced in the most sustainable and ethical way.

The producers listed on Eteakol are dedicated to their craft and aim to promote the excellence of Indian specialty coffee. Every step of the production process is done using minimal to no machine at all.
Each cherry bean, whether Arabica or Robusta, is hand-picked from century old shade grown trees watered by rainfall, they are then hand-processed before being laid down to either dry under the Indian sun or away from it in a special room.
