Specialty Coffee

Indian coffee is the most extraordinary of beverages, offering intriguing subtlety and stimulating intensity. India is the only country that grows all of its coffees under shade from the slopes of Western Ghats to Eastern Ghats and even North East, which has resulted in planting of native trees for shade in the barren, slopes and even on the wetlands. Typically mild and not too acidic, these coffees possess an exotic full bodied taste and a fine aroma, unique to its region.

Three types of Indian coffees are widely accepted as specialty by importers across the world:

Monsooned Malabar Coffee

The origins of Monsoon Malabar is believed to date back to the times of the British Raj, when, during the months that the coffee beans were transported by sea from India to Europe in large wooden vessels which took almost six months to sail around the Cape of Good Hope. The humidity and the monsoon sea winds combined to cause the coffee to transform from the fresh green to a more aged pale yellow and the beans changed in size, texture, and appearance, the changes were more apparent in cup too. The monsoon sea weather worked its magic on beans making them swell and acquire a texture smooth and soft to the touch. The coffee developed an incredibly complex taste profile which, won connoisseurs the world over.
