Our 1818 coffee is a truly exceptional blend, meticulously crafted by combining beans sourced from both the eastern and western regions of our country. The Araku Valley, nestled among the serene Eastern mountain ranges, provides a breathtaking backdrop to this unique coffee. It has witnessed an intriguing evolution in coffee cultivation, reminiscent of the artistry found in fine winemaking. The varying growing conditions in this region yield distinctive cupping profiles for our coffee beans. In the southwestern part of India, Kerala boasts a captivating history of maritime trade that played a significant role in the development of the distinctive 'monsooned' coffee. During the colonial era, coffee from this region was transported to Europe on wooden ships, enduring a four to six-month voyage exposed to sea winds and moisture. This extended exposure caused the green coffee beans to swell and acquire a pale gold hue, resulting in the creation of a unique flavor profile cherished by European coffee connoisseurs. To replicate this one-of-a-kind flavor, our coffee beans are deliberately exposed to the monsoon winds and humidity, imparting a golden hue and infusing them with a distinct earthy flavor. Monsooned coffee is frequently incorporated into espresso blends to enhance body and weight. Its unique flavor, characterized as both mellow and assertive, effectively balances acidity when blended with other coffee varieties.
This is one of my favorite, although I like all the other medium roasts. I am not a dark roast kinda guy, but I might have to give it a try since these flavors are amazing. It is smooth and tastes very much like European coffee. Worth the price. It is also very nicely packaged which makes great gifts for events or holidays.
I love this brand of coffee. My neighbors are my customers and they love this too. They say that is is tasty, smooth, and flavorful. If you haven't tried, why wait...give it a shot!! You will not be disappointed. It is definitely an exotic kind of coffee and not just your regular kinda wake up drink.
This is so refreshing to the soul in the early wee hours of the morning. Smooth and gentle flavor. I also like that it's very gentle on the stomach and does not make me have heartburns. I can drink a whole pot of this and it doesn't make you jittery or shaky. Love this coffee.
The description for this coffee is 100% as advertised — deep, rich, silky. Once I opened the package and saw those dark, shiny coffee beans I knew this was going to be a keeper. Like the Italian roasts I've had, the dark oily beans offer the most rewarding experience for me. But the Coorg Dark Roast was even better; with a lower acidity and a deeper, richer coffee experience.
