Origins

Wayanad, a picturesque district in the northeastern part of Kerala, India, is the birthplace of this robusta coffee. Its economy relies heavily on agriculture thanks to its scenic bodies of water, towering hills, and abundance of wildlife. Coffee (and tea) dominate local agriculture, supplemented by crops like cocoa, pepper, vanilla, rice, coconut, cardamom, and ginger. The intertwining of coffee plantations with fruit trees and spice gardens contributes to the unique aroma reflected in the coffee's taste and smell. A striking aspect of this robusta coffee is its organic cultivation. Grown and harvested without industrial fertilizers or sprays, it ensures a clean and pure flavor free from potentially harmful residues. The wet method, or washing, is utilized in processing. It involves soaking the coffee cherries in water and pressing them through crushing plates, followed by fermentation and drying in tumble dryers or under the sun.

Coffee cultivation in India dates back to 1670, with the first plantation established around 1840. Formerly focusing on arabica, Indian growers switched to robusta following a coffee rust epidemic that devastated arabica plants. Supervision of plantations and export quality have been overseen by the Coffee Board of India since 1942. Nowadays, about 250,000 farmers participate in coffee cultivation, with 98% being local farmers. Indian coffee holds approximately 4.5% of the global market, exporting mainly to countries like Germany, Russia, Spain, Italy, and Belgium. The India Robusta Parchment AB BIO coffee tells a story of a rich agricultural tradition infused with the fragrances of fruit and spice gardens shaped by the lush landscape of Wayanad. Its chocolate notes, dense crema, and organic cultivation make it a sought-after choice for various coffee blends and brewing methods. The centuries-old history and commitment to sustainable practices provide a backdrop that enriches each cup, connecting the drinker to India's vibrant coffee culture and scenic beauty.

Coffee packaging preview

Our quality aluminum packaging lacks any bold graphics, as we’d rather focus on the taste of our coffee. It always comes fresh thanks to degassing valve, which releases the gases that occur after roasting. Thanks to the hermetic seal, this container helps the contents further keep their freshness and protect them against humidity, light or foreign odors.
