Monsoon
Malabar
Monsooned coffee is directly exposed to the monsoon winds
in open warehouses. This increases the body & reduces
the acidity. Picked in the Malabar region of India, this coffee
is excellent as an espresso coffee when dark roasted, offering
sweetness to the Brew. It also blends very well with other
coffees to enhance the flavours.
Mysore
(Indian Plantation A)
It was in 1600 that the Muslim pilgrim, Baba Budan, brought
seeds back to India and planted them in the mountains of Mysore.
These coffees are noted for their smooth, mild brew and a
delicate flavour but having good body. The characteristics
of Mysore allow it to blend well with Mocha coffee.
Zambian
Lupili Farm. A very high quality coffee is now being produced.
The green beans have a lovely bluish tinge. The flavour is
mild, very soft (no harsh notes) with a light acidity.
Zimbabwe
Pezura Estate.This excellent quality coffee is grown on the
Mozambique border, the Chippinge Province on the terraces
at about 4,000 feet. Having a good clean body, the coffee
is noted for its fruity acidity. The coffee is becomming more
difficult to source due to the political situation.
