This new facility enables roasting and packaging of green coffee beans for Starbucks stores in India, and over time in select markets around the globe.
“The inauguration of the roasting plant in India represents a significant milestone for Starbucks and Tata Coffee,” said John Culver, president, Starbucks Coffee China and Asia Pacific. “Through our partnership, we will leverage the deep coffee heritage and expertise of both companies to procure, roast and distribute the finest quality arabica coffees, elevating the story of India coffee to our customers.”
This facility, spread across 8,258 sq ft with an installed capacity of 375 metric tonnes, has been readied for commercial run.
In addition to the state-of-the-art roaster, the plant also has a PLC-operated green coffee handling system for effective control of recipe, and automatic filling and automatic sealing line boosted with high-precision testing equipment to comply with the quality standards of the companies.
