Coffee producing area-India

There are several reasons why Indian coffee is popular with coffee hobbies, but the most important one is a process used in coffee beans, often called the "monsooning" process. In the past, passengers or cargo sailed to and from India, which took months to reach Europe. During the transportation, due to the high air humidity, the taste and color of the raw coffee beans changed. By the time they arrived at the destination, the coffee beans had changed from the original green to a strange yellow.

Consumers are getting used to this, so when steamships shorten the journey time, coffee producers find that consumers still want beans of the same color and taste that are affected by long trips. In order to recreate the flavor of the original coffee, the monsoon process was used. In May and June every year, monsoons occur in southwestern India, so during the monsoon season, people spread coffee in special houses open around them, about 12cm to 20cm thick, and keep them there for five days. Rake the beans again and again so that all the beans are exposed to the extremely humid air at that time, and then loosely put the beans into bags and pile them up. So that the monsoon can blow through the bag. The bags are reloaded and piled once a week for seven weeks until the coffee beans change color and taste. Finally, the coffee beans are hand-selected, remove those unaffected by the monsoon, and then bagged for export. October to February is a good time to make monsoon coffee.

In addition to Karnataka, good coffee is grown in Tellichery and Maral in the southwestern state of Kerala, as well as in Nilgiris in the southeastern state of Tamil Nadu (formerly known as Madras).

The best Indian coffee is also classified as Arabian plantation coffee, with the best grades A, B, C and T. "monsoon" coffee is divided into premium Monsooned Malabar AA coffee and "monsoon" Monsooned Basanically coffee. India also produces some bean-shaped berry coffee. At present, the problems facing the coffee industry are serious bureaucracy, excessive taxes and lack of investment. At present, the Indian Coffee Council (Indian Cffee Board) controls the entire coffee industry, buying coffee and then selling it. Coffee is sold at mass auctions. These coffees are mixed together to reach a certain trade volume, which eliminates the differences between manors and regions, so that many high-quality coffee producers lack sufficient motivation to produce unique and high-quality coffee beans. The government tried to solve this problem in 1992, and through efforts, the famous Valley Nuggets coffee was obtained through seeds from A-grade coffee plantations in several high-quality coffee production areas. It is hoped that this will encourage other coffee growers, most of whom are really eager to bring their products into the gourmet coffee market.
