India Cherry AA is a well-known grade of natural (dry-processed) Arabica coffee grown primarily in the southern regions of India, such as Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu. The name “Cherry” refers to the natural processing method, where whole coffee cherries are sun-dried before hulling, giving the beans a fruitier, heavier body.
The “AA” grading indicates a larger bean size and higher quality, typically harvested from elevations between 900 to 1,200 meters. Indian Cherry coffees are known for their low acidity, full body, and earthy, chocolatey flavor notes, making them a popular choice for espresso blends and traditional filter coffee in South Asia.
This coffee offers a unique, bold profile and is valued for its consistency and smooth cup.
