Product Details

Roasted Coffee Powder Manufacturer in Lucknow, India, Bulk Export

This is roasted coffee ground into a fine or coarse powder for filter and home-brew use, sold plain or as a coffee-chicory blend in the style South Indian filter coffee is traditionally made. Green beans arrive from the growing estates down south, and the roasting, grinding, blending, and packing happens here in Lucknow. Uttar Pradesh doesn't grow coffee, worth saying plainly rather than implying otherwise, but Lucknow's manufacturing base and its road and rail connections to Delhi and Kanpur make it a workable processing point for buyers whose supply chain runs through North India rather than the southern ports.

Why Manufacture from Lucknow

Being upfront about this: Lucknow's role here is processing and logistics, not growing. The coffee itself comes from Karnataka and Kerala estates the same way it would for any Indian coffee product. What Lucknow offers is a manufacturing base with good rail and road access into Delhi's export infrastructure and Kanpur's industrial corridor, which matters for buyers whose import routing or existing supply relationships already run through North India rather than the southern ports. It also means a shorter domestic leg for buyers combining a coffee order with other North Indian goods in the same shipment, since consolidating cargo out of one region rather than two cuts down on coordination on the buyer's end.

Export Packaging and Logistics

  • Packaging: Moisture-barrier pouches for retail formats, bulk 25kg bags for foodservice and institutional buyers. Private label packaging with custom branding is available for buyers who want shelf-ready product rather than plain bulk bags.
  • Minimum Order Quantity: Standard bulk orders typically start around 500kg to 1 MT for a first order, scaling up for repeat buyers. Chicory blend ratios can be adjusted per order without a significant MOQ change, since it's a formulation adjustment rather than a different production line.
  • HS Code: Plain roasted and ground coffee, chicory blends included, stays under 0901.21, distinct from instant or spray-dried coffee, which falls under 2101 at a different duty rate. Getting this right avoids overpaying duty on a product that doesn't actually qualify as an "instant" preparation.
  • Certifications: FSSAI license for the manufacturing facility, Certificate of Origin, and a Certificate of Analysis confirming moisture content and blend ratio per batch. Export documentation is routed through Delhi's ICD facilities given the Lucknow-to-Delhi logistics corridor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is coffee manufactured in Lucknow if it isn't grown there?

Green beans are sourced from Karnataka and Kerala estates and shipped to Lucknow for roasting, grinding, and packing. This isn't unusual in the coffee trade, processing and growing regions are often separate, and Lucknow's logistics into North India's export corridor is the reason for locating manufacturing here rather than closer to the estates.

What's the difference between plain coffee powder and a chicory blend?

Chicory is a roasted root added to coffee at a set ratio, commonly 70:30 or 80:20 coffee to chicory, which mellows the bitterness and adds body, a style closely associated with South Indian filter coffee. Pure coffee powder skips this entirely for buyers who want an unblended product.

Is roasted coffee powder taxed differently from instant coffee?

Yes. Roasted and ground coffee falls under HS 0901 with a lower GST rate domestically, while instant coffee falls under HS 2101 with a higher rate, since instant coffee is treated as a more heavily processed preparation. This same distinction carries into export customs classification.

Can grind size be customized for our specific brewing method?

Yes, fine grind suits traditional filter brewing, while a coarser grind works better for drip or press methods. Specify your intended brewing method at order time so the grind gets set correctly rather than defaulting to the standard filter-style grind.

What documentation is needed to bring this into our country?

A Certificate of Origin, a Certificate of Analysis covering moisture and composition, and standard export invoicing with the correct HS code are provided as standard. Additional food safety documentation can be prepared if your destination country's import authority requires it specifically.
