This is a scene I have seen every week for the last 30 years! South India is a coffee growing and drinking country, and 99% of the market is fresh ground coffee powder, supplied by tiny mom and pop shops. Though a lot of coffee is grown, it is all consumed locally, and nothing is exported. - Tip if you ever come to India - never drink anything but coffee in the four southern states, never drink coffee in the rest of the country!
