Indian Coffee-Mystery Coffee of Mystery Country

There are several reasons why Indian coffee is popular with coffee lovers, but the most important is a process used on coffee beans, often referred to as the "monsooninR" process. In the past, passengers or goods sailed to and from India, which took about several months to reach Europe. During the transportation, due to the high humidity in the air, 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 12 to 20 centimeters thick, and leave them there for five days. comb and rake the coffee beans again and again so that all the coffee beans are exposed to the extremely humid air at that time, and then they are loosely packed in bags and piled up. So that the monsoon can blow through the bag. These bags are reloaded and piled once a week for a total of seven weeks until the coffee beans change color and taste. Finally, the coffee beans are hand-selected, remove those not affected 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 Malabar in the southwestern state of Kerala, as well as in Nilgiris in the southeastern state of TamilNadu (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 high-quality Monsooned Malabar (AA) coffee and "monsoon" Basan Nicoli (MonsoonedBasanically) 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. Currently, the Coffee Council of India (Indian Coffee 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 ValleyNuggets 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, because most of them are really eager to bring their products into the gourmet coffee market.
