Indiacoffee - Guide to Indian coffee - How to process specialty coffee? (#)

  „The coffee is packed loose in gunny bags and stacked in piles with sufficient space between rows for the monsoon air to circulate freely around the bags. The cherry coffee absorbs moisture from the humid monsoon atmosphere. The beans swell up to nearly double the size and the colour of the beans change to pale yellow/straw colour.“

Fresh Cup Magazine

  „The journey of the bean—from sprouting in volcanic soil under a warm humid sun to the picking and processing of the cherry, to the second crack in the iron drum of a roaster and percolating in a cup—is ultimately about the flavor of the bean. Whether in a cupper’s spoon or a porcelain demitasse, I have discovered that the passion thriving within our international coffee community is fueled by a quest to understand the flavor. This is a mission that is not at all taken lightly by anyone seeking out the “perfect cup.”“

The Coffees of India

  „The sides of the structure are opened and moist monsoon winds circulate around the coffee making it swell in size and take on a mellowed but aggressive, musty flavor. Our source for Monsooned Malabar is the Coehlo's Gold brand from the Silver Cloud Estate. Silver Cloud Estate was founded in 1950 by Gregory Joseph Coelho, the scion of an illustrious family of planters - whose coffee growing traditions, date back to the early part of the 20th century. In thier monsooning process, arabica coffee is spread on the floor of the special monsooning warehouse in Mangalore, raked and turned around by hand to enable them to soak in moisture of the humid winds.“

Amazon.com: Books: The Birth of Coffee

  „If asked where you got your coffee beans, you'd probably say the corner Starbucks or your local grocery store. Rich and fragrant, piles of beans wait in bins for you to pack, grind, and take home (or pack, take home, and grind--whatever your preference). Before arriving on your kitchen counter, though, your coffee beans have passed through the hands of many workers.“
