Odisii Coffee –  Elevating Odisha’s Coffee Heritage

Odisii Coffee Pvt Ltd is making waves in the coffee industry by bringing the unique flavors of Odisha’s coffee to the forefront. Located in the fertile Eastern Ghats, the company takes pride in offering high-quality coffee grown in the Koraput region, an area that is quickly gaining recognition for its distinctive terroir and sustainable farming practices. Incubated in 2023 by Partha Sarathi Behura and Santosh Sabbana, Odisii Coffee Pvt Ltd envisions establishing Odisha on the global coffee map as a leading producer of specialty coffee.

A Unique Terroir: The Geography and Climate of Odisha
The rolling hills of the Eastern Ghats provide a blend of moderate temperatures, balanced rainfall, and rich red soil, creating an ideal environment for coffee cultivation. The natural shade from forests allows the beans to mature slowly, resulting in a smooth, balanced flavor profile with subtle hints of fruit and spice. These distinct growing conditions have made Koraput a standout region for producing high-quality coffee that offers a refined taste unlike any other.

Commitment to Sustainable Farming
Sustainability is at the heart of Odisii Coffee Pvt Ltd’s operations. The company’s coffee is grown organically, with no harmful pesticides or chemicals, ensuring that the beans are not only of exceptional quality but also environmentally friendly. Many of the farmers working with the company are first-generation growers with small plots of land, which creates a strong connection to their plants. These farmers employ traditional tribal farming practices that rely on natural methods and avoid synthetic chemicals, ensuring that the soil remains fertile and the environment unharmed, making Odisii Coffee a leader in eco-friendly cultivation.

Odisii Coffee Pvt Ltd follows strict guidelines from BerryCo (a Coffee Consulting Firm) to ensure the best post-harvest practices. Hand-picking coffee cherries ensures that only the ripest beans are selected. The company’s attention to detail extends to its post-harvest processes, which include careful drying, sorting, and roasting in small batches to maintain the beans’ natural flavors and freshness.

Expanding Beyond Koraput
While Koraput remains at the core of its operations, Partha Sarathi Behura, the co-founder of Odisii Coffee, has ambitious plans to expand its sourcing regions within Odisha. Future endeavors include working with farmers in areas such as Phulbani, Daringbadi, and Keonjhar.

A Distinctive Coffee Experience
Odisha-grown coffee has quickly earned a reputation for its medium-bodied profile, gentle sweetness, and subtle acidity. Coffee enthusiasts who prefer a balanced brew find Odisii Coffee particularly appealing. The aroma carries rich, earthy undertones with delicate notes of tropical fruits and spices, a testament to the biodiversity of the region. Unlike coffees from other parts of India, which often have a more robust or acidic taste, Odisii Coffee offers a smooth and harmonious experience, making it a favorite among connoisseurs.

A Vision to Elevate Odisha’s Coffee Industry
The brand name, “Odisii,” is inspired by the region’s classical dance form, symbolizing grace and tradition—values that are embedded in the company’s philosophy. Partha says, “We aim to establish Odisha coffee as a recognized specialty brew, celebrated for its unique flavors that distinguish it from other regions.”

With a commitment to quality and community empowerment, Odisii Coffee is poised to put Odisha firmly on the global coffee map, inviting coffee lovers everywhere to experience the distinctive taste of this remarkable region.
