Badra Coffee, an established name in the Indian coffee industry with a legacy dating back to 1943, has officially entered the Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) market. Known for its commitment to quality, the 81-year-old brand is launching four new coffee blends, available for the first time to Indian consumers through its e-commerce platform.
For decades, Badra Coffee has been exporting its premium coffee to countries like Japan, the US, South Korea, Germany, and Norway. Now, the company is set to bring the authentic coffee experience from the Bababudangiri hills of Chikmagalur—the birthplace of Indian coffee—to the Indian retail market.
The four new blends—Temple Mountain, Misty Heights, Kaapi Nirvana, and Dakshin Fusion—are designed to cater to a wide range of tastes and preferences. Temple Mountain offers a delicate and aromatic profile, while Kaapi Nirvana delivers a rich and robust experience. Misty Heights brings a fruity essence, and Dakshin Fusion is inspired by traditional South Indian filter coffee, offering a blend that includes chicory.
Jacob Mammen, Managing Director of Badra Estates, highlighted the brand’s deep connection to its roots and its focus on quality. “The Indian coffee market has evolved significantly. Indian consumers are now more discerning, seeking detailed information about the origin and flavors of their coffee,” Mammen said. “We collaborate closely with our buyers to understand their unique flavor preferences and customize our coffees to match their tastes. What sets us apart from other retailers is that we cultivate our coffee on our own estates in Chikmagalur. We call it relationship coffee.”
Badra Coffee’s entry into the D2C space allows the brand to maintain its “seed-to-cup” approach, ensuring that each cup of coffee is of the highest quality. The company takes pride in roasting and grinding its beans just before packaging, preserving the freshness and flavor of the coffee. In addition, Badra Coffee offers a unique coffee discovery experience at its estate in Chikmagalur, where customers can learn about the journey behind each cup.
This move is a significant step for Badra Coffee as it seeks to bring the authentic flavors of Chikmagalur closer to urban coffee lovers. By staying true to its heritage while embracing modern coffee trends, Badra Coffee aims to stand out in an increasingly competitive market. The brand’s sustainable practices, attention to detail, and commitment to quality make it a distinctive presence in the Indian coffee landscape.
Consumers can now purchase Badra Coffee’s premium blends directly from the brand’s website, with plans to introduce the products to online retail markets soon. Orders above Rs 500 will enjoy free delivery, and the blends will also be available on Amazon in the near future.

Bengaluru’s coffee scene just got a soulful upgrade. Tribes Coffee has officially opened its first flagship café in HSR Layout, introducing a concept that blends wild-grown tribal beans, curated global eats, and a strong social mission.
Founded on the idea of celebrating India’s indigenous communities, Tribes Coffee is the country’s first and only terroir-based coffee brand, offering brews that carry the essence of forests, mineral-rich soils, and tribal heritage. Each cup tells a story — rooted in generations of tradition and grown in harmony with nature.
To mark the opening, four tribal women from Nimmagedda, Andhra Pradesh — Seedarapu Gangamma, Buridi Asha Latha, Buridi Munisha, and Addakatla Gennu — were invited as chief guests. Honoured by the Prime Minister in 2022 for their work in sustainable tribal farming, these women represent the heart and soul behind the beans.
“With Tribes Coffee, we’re not just serving coffee — we’re offering a taste of untold stories,” shared Kiran Nerlige Gowda, Founder of Tribes Coffee. “This café is a tribute to the tribal women and communities who’ve nurtured India’s most distinct coffee in remote forests, often without recognition. We’re here to change that.”
At the core of the brand is a strong commitment to uplift tribal communities. Beans are procured directly from growers, ensuring fair pricing and authenticity. Moreover, 10% of annual profits are reinvested into these communities for education, healthcare, and cultural preservation.
“Urban health through tribal wealth is our mantra,” Gowda added. “Each cup contributes to their dignity, their joy, and their future. That’s our ultimate brew.”
The café spans 1,400 sq. ft., designed to reflect tribal aesthetics — with clay-toned walls, curved layouts, hand-painted murals, and boulder-inspired furniture. The space is both warm and artistic, echoing the spirit of tribal life and inviting guests into a sensory journey from bean to brew.
The menu features signature coffees from regions like Nimmagedda, Koraput, Araku Valley, Similiguda, Paderu, and Daringbadi, along with global dishes curated to complement the coffee without overpowering its distinct flavours.
Must-Try Coffee: Natural Embedded Flavoured Coffee Must-Try Food: Mushroom & Truffle Zero Flour Pizza, Quinoa & Sweet Potato Veg Burger, Cold Egg Sandwich
Location: Tribes Coffee, 23rd Main, 22nd Cross Rd, HSR Layout, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560102 Opening Hours: 9 AM to 10.30 PM
