It is cultivated in environmentally delicate areas of the Western and Eastern Ghats beneath a strong natural shade cover.
Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka are the top three producing states of coffee. Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, and the North Eastern States are now also home to coffee plantations. Indian Coffee was featured on a commemorative scent stamp released by the Department of Posts.
