Origin: Brazil, Minas Gerais and India

As the world’s largest coffee producer, Brazil stands out not only in quantity but also in quality. The Minas Gerais region is famous for its sweet, low-acid Arabica coffee. The coffee plantations in the region, located between 800 and 1200 meters above sea level, benefit from warm days and cool nights, aiding the slow ripening of the coffee cherries. This ideal environment ensures that the coffee has a rich, full flavor. The coffee from this region is also unique for its volcanic soil and low humidity, which create optimal conditions to enhance chocolate, caramel, and fruity notes.

Indian coffee, predominantly grown in the Karnataka, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu regions, thrives in a unique, mountainous climate between 600 and 1200 meters above sea level. The combination of a humid climate and fertile soil provides the perfect conditions for coffee cherry development. The distinctive feature of Indian coffee is the blend of both Arabica and Robusta, producing a unique, full flavor profile that combines rich, spicy, earthy notes with chocolate and caramel undertones. Additionally, the monsoon processing method imparts a special earthy character, shaped by prolonged exposure to moisture during the monsoon season.

Fun Facts – Did you know?

Monsoon Processing: Indian coffee is processed using the monsoon method, where the coffee is exposed to the humid, salty monsoon winds, imparting a unique spicy, earthy flavor to the coffee.

Robusta Impact: The addition of Robusta provides a dense, robust body, contributing to a rich crema and a higher caffeine content.

Biodiversity Focus: Many coffee plantations in the Indian highlands focus on preserving biodiversity and pay close attention to harmonious coexistence with local wildlife and plant life.

Processing: Dry (80%) and Monsoon (20%)

80% of the blend is made using dry processing, where the coffee cherries are dried with their fruit flesh intact. This allows the natural sugars in the fruit to seep into the coffee beans, lending the drink a rich, fruity sweetness. The Indian coffee undergoes monsoon processing, adding a spicy, earthy character that perfectly complements the blend.

The combination of natural and monsoon processing results in a coffee with a full, dense body, pronounced sweetness, and chocolatey, nutty, raisin-like, and lightly tropical fruity notes.
