What Shapes India Coffee
India’s structural reality
Production is estate-based (not smallholder-aggregated).
Coffee is grown under heavy shade, often intercropped with spices.
Processing to parchment/cherry is done on-estate; curing works (dry mills) are centralized and powerful.
Specialty success hinges on estate discipline + curing custody.
