                                          What Makes It Special

                                Koraput’s altitude of about 3,000 feet, misty
                               weather, and loamy soil create ideal growing
                                 conditions. The slow ripening process gives
                               each bean a richer, more complex taste. The
                             rolling hills and forest cover add to the region’s
                                              charm and natural balance.
