Coffee is grown in the Gaozhi Mountains in western India, and the southwest monsoon is crucial to coffee growth there. 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 MonsoonedMalabar (AA) coffee and "monsoon" Basan Nicoli (MonsoonedBasanically) coffee. India also produces some bean-shaped berry coffee. October to February is a good time to make "monsoon" coffee. Coffee beans are harvested from June to September every year, and from December to February next year, it is the season for processing Indian boutique coffee.

The characteristics of Indian coffee:

"monsoon coffee", the so-called "monsoon coffee" is the coffee processed by the monsoon. 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.

Flavor: smooth and delicious, strong, spicy, full of particles

Suggested baking method: medium baking

★★: good

The Indian coffee market:

Currently, the Coffee Council of India (IndianCoffeeBoard) 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.
