The coffee is grown at elevations of approximately 3,545–4,215 feet, primarily around Kabada Bodaput village, where coffee plots thrive beneath diverse natural shade trees including silver oak, jackfruit, lime, jamun, mango, sweet orange and custard apple.

Made from 100% Arabica beans, ARAKU Selection reflects the regenerative farming practices and origin-led approach that define coffee from Araku Valley.
Smooth enough for everyday drinking yet distinctive enough for specialty coffee lovers, Selection is an excellent introduction to the ARAKU range.
