About Coffee in India
If you want to know where the coffee beans that went into your Café Latte came from, I'd probably be able to tell you.
Rumors has it that coffee was brought into India by Baba Budan, a Sufi saint who brought back no more than seven live coffee beans from his pilgrimage to Mecca and planted them on the hilly slopes of what is now called the Baba Budan Giri range of the Western Ghats in Chikmagalur in Karnataka. It spread to the neighboring areas called the Kathlekhan Range.
The folks that work at our estates are a tenacious bunch. They will visit each coffee plant several times over the harvest season so that they pick the berry when it is just right: neither under-ripe nor over-ripe. The processed beans now get carefully roasted, until we hear the second 'pop', which means they're ready.
And then comes the grind. I'm sure you know that the best coffee comes from freshly ground beans. When, we hear the grinder go ' whirr ' sound for just 15-20 seconds for each shot of espresso coffee.
Finally, the last mile: the transformation of finely ground coffee into that perfect cup. There's a choice of ways you could go for. At coffee bar they shoot pressurized steam through the coffee to create a shot of espresso.
