Siolim Specialty Coffee Roasters Aims for Global Recognition with Unique Indian Coffee Blends

As India’s coffee culture evolves, Siolim Specialty Coffee Roasters, based in Indore, is leading the charge with its focus on specialty coffee blends and unique brewing techniques. With a mission centered on ethical sourcing and sustainability, Siolim has grown into Central India’s first specialty coffee roastery and now aims to take Indian coffee to international markets. This vision includes expanding into regions such as Africa and the Middle East by 2026, contributing to the growing global demand for distinct Indian coffee flavors.

A key factor in Siolim’s success is its direct sourcing from small, independent farmers, ensuring fair compensation and transparency across the supply chain. This model not only supports the farmers but also provides coffee connoisseurs with high-graded microlots that showcase the rich heritage of Indian coffee. The company’s community-driven approach includes establishing India’s first co-roasting space and a specialized barista school, helping coffee enthusiasts deepen their knowledge and refine their brewing skills.

Siolim’s roasting methods are designed to preserve the unique characteristics of each bean. Their approach involves roasting each lot separately before blending, ensuring the distinct flavors remain intact. Signature blends like the *Anjuna*, which combines single-origin coffee with three microlots, deliver a dark chocolate aftertaste with hints of raisins and pear. Their *Madeera* series, known for aging green beans in whiskey and rum barrels, creates bold, standout flavors.

Gaurav Sethi, Head Roaster at Siolim said, “We’re here to change the game. Indian coffee has been underestimated for far too long, and we’re determined to show the world what it’s truly capable of. Every bean we roast, every partnership we forge, is about pushing boundaries—whether it’s through direct trade with farmers or our innovative roasting techniques. We’re not just about coffee; we’re about redefining what Indian coffee can be.”

With its blend of ethical practices and innovative approaches, Siolim Specialty Coffee Roasters is well-positioned to become a global ambassador for Indian specialty coffee, elevating the country's coffee industry in the global marketplace.
