"Coffee is already known to be a preventative factor against mild depression, Parkinson's disease, and colon and rectal cancers."

So one thing that I've always wondered is why the price of coffee is so high in India? Having lived in USA, UK and UAE - I've always found prices of items to be much cheaper in India. Let's take the idea of Burgers, Pizzas, Ice Cream etc. And we are speaking about the international brands like Pizza Hut, Baskin Robbins, McDonalds etc. The cost of these items are at par with other local items available.

What surprises me is that Coffee costs the same whether we have it London, New York, Dubai or Mumbai. Somewhere between 350-400 rupees for a large Cappuccino. And I'm not talking about international brands only; even the local cafe's here are charging an exorbitant amount for the same.

There are over 5000 flavour nodes in coffee - there is romance in coffee! And hence the preferred drink of the Indian youth. It's a great way to start the morning, a great beverage to meet a friend over, a great way to start a work out and so much more.

So we've made it our mission to make this beautiful beverage available to our fellow Indians without them having to break bank. We have tied up with multiple estates in across India and also set up our own processing plant so we own the entire process from farm to cup. This way we have control over the quality and can also cut out the middle man to make the coffee available to you alot cheaper!
