Tariero Artisan Coffees is a fine collaboration between the US coffee roastmasters and the Indian coffee connoisseur. Tariero was started with the idea of introducing honest, clean, good coffees into the Indian Markets. No one needs to drink bad coffees or coffees that are not 100% coffee! Bringing you the Best that Indian Coffees have to offer.
Our collaboration with USA “specialty master roasters” since 2004 sets us above the rest. After all they are the ones who created the term Specialty Coffee and moved the coffee world to this higher level of appreciation. We work directly with growers and so we are assured on the quality of coffee we get. We buy our coffees straight off the estates and hence we know the taste profile of the coffees much before they are presented to you. All our coffees sourced for the Indian markets are at par with the coffees that are exported to the USA and beyond.
Where is Tariero coffee roasted?
Right here in Bengaluru, in small, fresh batches on our in house probat roaster. We don’t outsource any of our roasting.
Where does Tariero source its coffee beans?
From carefully selected Indian coffee estates, mainly across South India- We have a long standing (since 2004, that’s 22 years and counting) relationship with many coffee planters and curing works and hence we are assured that we get is the cream of the crop!
Is Tariero coffee Indian?
Absolutely. Indian-grown, Indian-roasted and proudly independent.
What makes Tariero different?
We were working with specialty coffee long before it became fashionable in India. We care more about good beans, proper roasting and honest flavour than fancy packaging or marketing hype. We have a large number (over 250) roasters in the USA which we have access to for cupping our coffees and for advice as and when required. That is the goodwill we have established through KPCI and our years in the export of green coffees.
Similarly we have a relationship with coffee planters from Chikmagalur, Waynad, Coorg since 2004. This long term familiarity with growers and roasters makes us different.
Also at Tariero, we DON’T cater to standard, run of the mill, mass produced, uniform tasting coffees! That’s not our cup of coffee. At Tariero’s we explore the world of Indian Coffees and we expose you to the heightened nuances that coffees can offer. Our offerings change based on the quality profile of green beans that are available to us from season to season. Our Collections are all limited in nature and we change our coffees as soon as we run out of our micro batch.
What is the best Tariero Coffee for beginners?
Start with a balanced Tariero Medium Roast blends like Moon-River, or “Mellow-Yellow” or one of our easy-drinking flavoured coffees like French-Vanilla or Peppermint Mocha.
Which Tariero coffee is best for black coffee?
Choose Medium Roast – Moon River or Mellow Yellow for a smoother cup or Dark Roast- Bohemian Rhapsody of Rain Song for something deeper and bolder.
Which coffee is best for espresso?
An Espresso Roast or espresso blend, with a fine grind. We recommend Jitterbug (High Caffeine) and La Bamba.
Which coffee should I buy for a French press?
Any of our coffees available will work on a French press. Just make sure you ask for a coarse grind.
Should I buy whole beans or ground coffee?
Whole beans stay fresher for longer. Ground coffee is more convenient—just select the grind that matches your brewing equipment.
Whats the big deal about the GRIND?
One of the easiest and most overlooked aspects in producing a “great” Cup of Joe is the coffee-grind! Done wrongly a masterfully and skillfully roasted coffee will taste like “dish water swill” in the cup.
So decide your brewing method first and then grind the coffee just before brewing to bring out the best in your cup.
Burr Grinder?? What the heck is that?
Any barista will tell you that the single most important piece of gear in the espresso-making chain is the grinder. So buy your grinder first.
And that’s what we did at Tariero Artisan Roastery, and what a difference it makes in “our” coffee versus “theirs”. Since most Indians prefer their coffees ground, we decided to invest in one of the best burr grinders on the market.
There are flat burr grinders and conical burr grinders, but they do the same thing: grind your coffee and grind it well. The distance between the surfaces can be changed, which in turn will change the size of the grind.The reason that coffee aficionados tend to choose burr grinders over blade is that the beans are ground in a uniform size and a uniform grind is much harder to do in a blade grinder, especially if you are trying to do a coarser ground, which is why burr grinders are wholeheartedly recommended for anyone doing French press or pour overs.
To reiterate making a cup of coffee isn’t rocket science but it is best to understand the science behind the grind before we just go out and load up on the first ground coffee that is on sale at the supermarket. The shorter the time of contact with the coffee with water, the finer the grind. For example, in an espresso, the hot pressurized water touches the coffee for barely 25-30 seconds to quickly pull the flavourful 'oils' out of the grounds. Here the grind must be very fine to expose as much of the beans' surface area as possible.
However in a French Press or a Plunger, or percolator, a coarser grind is necessary because the coffee is in contact with the water for a longer time.
Hence, at Tariero we specifically ask you to choose your grind for the coffees you buy. Finer grind doesn’t mean “stronger coffee”: A higher ratio of coffee to water or the medium-dark roast profile of the bean will increase the strength in the cup, without compromising the flavour of the coffee.
At Tariero we offer you a slew of roast profiles to suit even the most pernickety palates.
What is the difference between Medium, Espresso and Dark Roast?
Medium is balanced, Espresso is developed for concentrated brewing, and Dark Roast is fuller, heavier and less acidic.
Why are there so many grind choices?
Fine is for espresso, medium for drip and moka pots, and coarse for French press. And of course, if you pick up whole beans, you can control your own grind preference.
What beans do you use?
In Short: Premium Indian Arabica and selected Robusta, depending on the coffee or blend.
In Depth: Advertising has been hammering us for years telling us how the best coffee is 100% Arabica. This isn't true and an over-simplification by those in the media. “100% Arabica” only tells us that the coffee is 100% Arabica.. …But wait a minute, what about the GRADE , the PROCESSING, CHERRY OR PARCHMENT, SOIL Type, ELEVATION of the ESTATE , RAINFALL PATTERN? Just being a 100% Arabica TELLS US NOTHING about the actual quality of the green coffee.
In barista competitions and consumer coffee blends, a 100% Arabica is often not the most popular option. A percentage of Robusta coffee (20 to 40%) will add body, strength and creama to the espresso that 100% Arabica rarely do.
So choose a blend composed of excellent varieties of selected coffees, especially conceived for espresso and skillfully roasted to a right degree.
Some markets prefer the strong, clear-cut, bitter, full-bodied, penetrating Robusta coffees, charmed by the abundant crema produced by a good Coffea Canephora. Other connoisseurs instead have a penchant for the sharp, vibrant acidity of washed Arabica like the magnificent Central American coffees or more new-world Indian coffees with notes of milk chocolate and citrus. Still other consumers appreciate the “dirty” nature of natural or cherry coffees in particular those from Brazil that provide sweet creaminess and structure to the espresso.
So which is better: a 100% Arabica blend or one where 10-20% of selected, washed Robusta has been added, perhaps for use in cappuccino which, outside of Italy, is the form of the espresso most in demand? The schools of thought are always at loggerheads.
Actually, the answer is simpler: let the consumer decide.
Tariero boutique coffee roastery sources green coffee directly from our select grower group from Chikmagalur, Coorg, Waynad, Yercaud. We source clean parchment coffees, complex cherry coffees, fermented, honey-processed, natural-tree dried…. And on and on. So our blends are always fresh, new and adventurous!
Our coffees are batch-roasted, in-house, on our Probat Drum Roaster and roasted only on order. We have a bouquet of coffees to satisfy every palette- from regular espresso coffee, to south-indian decoction blends, to luxe aromatique flavoured ground as well as instant coffees (FDA & USDA approved flavours).
Is Tariero coffee roasted to order?
YES- We roast in small batches and dispatch our coffee fresh.
How soon after roasting should coffee be brewed?
We at the roastery give the coffee few days to rest after roasting, which brings out the coffee oils and aromas. Once the package is opened, enjoy it within four to six weeks.
How should coffee beans be stored?
The Short Answer: Keep it tightly sealed in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight, heat and moisture.
The Details: Packaging is very important for roasted coffee. The one-way degassing valve was originally developed specifically for coffee.
Coffee is unique, as it is the only food product that needs to be completely protected from oxygen (O2) to prevent it from going bad. Freshly roasted coffee should not come in contact with oxygen as it leads to stale flavors and poor shelf life. It also gives off relatively large volumes of carbon dioxide (CO2) post roasting.
A few years ago (like 20yrs ago) when we started Tariero, it was impossible to package truly fresh, whole bean coffee because there was no package that could be sealed off completely from O2 while at the same time releasing the CO2 gas from the package.
The invention of the one-way coffee degassing valve and its incorporation into the flexible package changed all this. In less than 20 years, the flexible film valve bag has become the gold standard of coffee packaging. Most discerning and knowledgeable consumers now are well aware that if they want freshly roasted coffee that will stay fresh for longer, they will look for the one-way valve.
It has reached the point where some consumers will not accept a specialty coffee unless it is packaged in one of these bags. A big advantage of the valve bag, to the consumer, is that if they know to squeeze the bag they can tell if the coffee is fresh or not.
With the price of coffee going through the roof, the consumer needs to get the most out of his bag of coffee.
At Tariero Artisan Roastery, we use only high-quality bags with dual features of the degassing valve and zip lock. The Degassing Coffee valve allows the carbon dioxide to escape without “ballooning” or rupturing the bag but does not allow oxygen to enter. All our coffees are packaged soon after roasting in a moisture-proof laminated coffee bag containing a one-way degassing valve.
ANOTHER TARIERO DIFFERENCE! So look for the valve! It is surely not a style quotient, it’s an absolute necessity!

Does Tariero sell decaf coffee?
Yes. We call our range Lo-Caff.
What is Lo-Caf coffee?
It is real coffee with most of the caffeine removed through a supercritical CO₂ process, while retaining its flavour and character.
Does decaf coffee still contain caffeine?
A small amount, yes. Lo-Caff means low-caffeine, not completely caffeine-free.
How much caffeine does decaf contain?
It must have at least 97 percent of the caffeine removed. That leaves about 5 milligrams, compared to the 100 to 150 milligrams in 6 ounces of brewed coffee. Tea starts with much less caffeine, so most decaf tea has even less caffeine than decaf coffee.
Is one type of decaf preferable?
Well YES and NO…. If you prefer chemical free methods then the CO2 or water extraction are the safest. Over the years there have been worries about decaf processed with methylene chloride as studies had found that this chemical caused cancer when inhaled by lab animals (which is why it was banned in hair sprays). However, The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the organic chemical compound method for decaffeination.:( Many companies use methylene chloride because it’s cheaper and decaf coffee can be mass produced.
At Tariero Artisan roastery we use natural supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) extraction method to extract the caffeine and hence our coffees are free of chemicals like benzene, chloroform, and trichloroethylene (TCE).
Research On the horizon:
Researchers are now working on breeding coffee plants that will have up to 98 percent less caffeine. But making these plants commercially viable looks like it will take years.
Does Tariero deliver across India?
Yes, we ship our artisanal Indian coffees across India, using reliable courier services.
What do you charge for delivery?
We charge a flat fee of Rs. 50 to deliver across India.
