Indian monsoon coffee Indonesian coffee

There are several reasons why Indian coffee is popular with coffee hobbies, but the most important one is due to a process used in coffee beans, often referred to as the "monsooning" process. In the past, passengers or goods sailed to and from India, which took about several months to reach Europe. The taste and color of raw coffee beans have changed due to high air humidity during transportation. By the time we arrived at the destination, the coffee beans had changed from 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 original coffee flavor, the "monsoon" process is used. in May and June every year, monsoons occur in southwestern India, so during the monsoon season People spread the coffee in special houses open all around, about 12cm to 20cm in thickness, where they were placed for five days and raked the beans again and again so that all the beans were exposed to the extremely humid air at that time, and then put the beans loosely into bags so that the monsoon could blow through the bags. these bags are reloaded and piled once a week. After a total of seven weeks, until the coffee beans changed color and taste. Finally, the coffee beans were hand-selected, removed 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, and the best are 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 high bureaucracy, excessive taxation and lack of investment. The Coffee Council of India (Indian Cffee Board) controls the entire coffee industry, buying coffee and then selling it. Coffee is sold in mass auctions. These coffees are mixed to reach a certain trade volume, which eliminates the differences between estates and regions. As a result, 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 obtained the famous Valley Nuggets through seeds from A-class coffee plantations in several quality coffee producing 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.
