Coorg Green Cardamom

Spices Green cardamom
Coorg Green Cardamom is a distinctive spice cherished for its unique, terroir-driven character, cultivated directly within the lush, shade-grown coffee estates of Kodagu (Coorg) in Karnataka. Sourced from these biodiversity-rich plantations where it grows under the canopy of rainforest trees alongside pepper vines and orange groves, this variety absorbs the essence of its forest surroundings, resulting in slightly smaller, slender pods that often carry a golden-green hue from traditional sun-drying methods. Its flavor profile is celebrated for being notably fresh, piney, and floral with subtle earthy undertones—a milder yet aromatic "forest" taste that sets it apart from bolder varieties and makes it the soulful heart of traditional Kodava cuisine.
