This coffee will catch your attention just by looking at its beans – their size is really something. Specialists classify them as an 18, which means it has somewhere between 0,64-0,72cm. Prior to roasting, they are a beautiful yellow color, and after roasting them to a medium they retail some of that lightness. The taste is also exceptional, lacking sweetness. The slight bitterness and distinct earthiness is a treat for true connoisseurs. The crema is bright, light and cohesive.
Origins
The origins of Indian coffee production date back to 1670. Despite a devastating rust epidemic hitting the plantations two hundred years later, the country got back on its feet, and continues to export high-quality coffee today. Karnataka is one of the original places where coffee plants were first cultivated. It's a coastal region where climate is affected by frequent monsoons and strong winds. Coffee plants are planted in shade and sheltered places, often along with cardamom, cloves and cinnamon. They give Indian coffee its distinctive flavor and rich aroma. However, the aforementioned monsoons and strong winds also contribute to its unique character.
Coffee cherries are harvested throughout the growing season in Karnataka as they ripen. Their processing is based on the historical taste of coffee, when it was transported on ships and absorbed moisture and the aroma of wood and salt. This is why today farmers expose harvested and dried coffee to harsh monsoons and cold winds for up to 7 weeks. This gives the coffee a truly distinctive flavor.
Indian coffee is most commonly exported to Europe, the USA and Japan. Our plantation coffee is roasted just before it's shipped to you, so it gets to you fresh, fragrant and delicious.

Our quality aluminum packaging lacks any bold graphics, as we’d rather focus on the taste of our coffee.
