Origins

The history of Indian robusta reaches all the way back to the 17th century. If you’ve ever tried it, you’ve already experienced its signature intensity. That’s not only due to the high caffeine content, but also because of the climatic conditions of the region where it’s cultivated. The legend has it that coffee plants were brought to India by St. Baba Budan around the year 1670. Supposedly, he secretly brought 7 coffee beans from Yemen and hid them inside his beard – this story symbolized the beginning of coffee cultivation in India, but coffee plants were still mostly grown for decoration. Only in the 18th century, with the start of British colonization, did the first commercial plantations appear.
Nowadays, India mostly produces robusta, as this variety is sturdy enough to withstand the harsh conditions. Indian robusta is known for a full body and the signature bitterness. Farmers from regions such as Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu cultivate their coffee with great care. It’s known for the higher caffeine content in comparison to arabica.
After harvest, the coffee beans are processed, usually using the washed method. That’s when the beans are rid of their skins and pulp in water. The result is green coffee, which then undergoes fermentation and drying, either in the sun or inside special ovens that give them their original flavor. This ensures that any Indian coffee has its own distinct character.
Instant coffee can be made on of two ways – freeze-drying or spray-drying. This coffee was made using the latter method, which is not only faster, but also saves more energy. Coffee beans are first roasted before they’re made into a strong concentrate and sprayed into high-temperature air. The small droplets quickly evaporate and leave behind tiny granules of water-soluble coffee.

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.
