The highest grade of Indian Robusta, this coffee is intensely bold and chocolatey, designed for traditional espresso blends.
Kaapi Royale is India’s answer to the often-underestimated Robusta bean—an ultra-clean, carefully sorted example of what happens when quality takes center stage. Grown at elevation in the shade-heavy plantations of Karnataka, this premium-grade Robusta is processed with exceptional care and selected for its size, uniformity, and cup clarity. While many associate Robusta with strength over subtlety, Kaapi Royale shifts that narrative with a smoother, less bitter edge and surprisingly rich crema when used in espresso. It’s a favorite for blending, yes, but also earns a place solo for those who enjoy intensity without harshness. This is Robusta refined—full-bodied, charismatic, and worthy of its regal name.
Robusta (C. canephora) A different species from Arabica, Robusta is known for its hardiness, high caffeine content, and bold, strong flavor profile. 'Kaapi Royale' is a grade of screen 17 beans.
