This Indian specialty coffee is one of the most unique coffees in our catalog. The coffee is grown the length and breadth of the Western Ghats mountain range in the Malabar region of India. The special production process and unique aged flavor nuances make this Indian "Malabar Monsonado" a unique coffee. The identity of this Indian specialty coffee lies in the particularity of its laborious processing method. This method consists of drying the beans in the humid monsoon wind currents, causing the beans to swell and acquire a light golden color and a sweet but aggressively aged flavor. This process gives the coffee exceptional body with very low acidity and great creaminess, guaranteeing an unparalleled espresso. Although half of India's production is Robusta, it also exports high-quality Arabicas, such as the so-called "Amonzonados," like this India "Malabar"
A pioneer in the control of coffee plant diseases such as rust and anthracnose, India has been working for years to continuously improve the quality of its crops. In the modern era of independent India (since 1947), processing methods have improved, and with the help of the Coffee Board of India, coffee has become a thriving industry in the country, with exports all over the world.
Interestingly, the origin of coffee cultivation in India is attributed to a legendary figure, Baba Budan. He is said to have introduced the coffee plant to India by bringing fourteen beans (exactly) from Yemen, breaking the monopoly the Yemenites had until then on coffee production.
