Specialty coffee or gourmet coffee demand is on an upswing and the forthcoming 17th annual conference on specialty coffee in Seattle, Washington to be held during April 15-18, is set to witness a strong Indian presence. | |
| Specialty coffee is distinguished by its clear origin, careful cultivation and plucking routine, special processing and of course, branding and handling. |
| |
| Tata Coffee will lead the Indian brigade to the event, which is expected to draw 10,000 specialty coffee professionals from 40 countries. |
| |
| The event this time will not just be to create a better brew, but also to explore sustainable solutions for coffee producers and the environment. |
| |
| A Specialty Coffee Association of India spokesperson said: "Planters are now developing finer strains of coffee to satisfy gourmet coffee drinkers." |
| |
| He added that Indian coffee planters are increasingly looking at specialty coffee as a means to move up the value chain with their coffee produce. |
