Coffee was first introduced to India nearly 400 years ago by the Muslim pilgrim, Baba Budan. The British then established commercial plantations back in 1840. The beans were shipped from India taking four to six months sailing around the Cape of Good Hope. On arrival at its destination the beans had changed colour from bright green to pale gold, the acidity of the coffee had been lost with the wind and moisture from the voyage, the beans had taken on a pleasing unique flavour. The monsooning process was later developed as transportation methods advanced in order to retain the individual characteristics of the Indian beans.

The beans are stored in well ventilated brick/concrete floored warehouses on the west coast of India, allowing the coffee to be exposed to the moisture laden monsoon winds from the Arabian Sea in the months June through September. They are frequently raked, graded and swell to nearly twice their original size. The acidity is neutralised in the process and mellow, smooth coffee with deeper flavours developing in the nose.Tastes of chocolate are apparent with a slight earthiness distinctive with Asian coffees. This was an instant hit when it first made its way to Europe and remains one of our best sellers. These beans are great if you use a cafetiere, or if you are relatively new to buying fresh coffee.
