Arabica Green Coffee Beans With Woody, Vegetal Notes
How would you like to enjoy a freshly brewed coffee at home? It's now possible with green coffee from the Karnataka region of India, processed using the monsooned process. Once roasted and ground at home, this coffee is distinguished by its pervasive aromatic richness in the cup for an incomparable tasting experience.
Explore green coffee from the Karnataka region of India, a combination of several arabica varieties (Catuai, Cauvery and SL9) grown at an altitude of 1500 metres. These beans are selectively harvested by hand and then subjected to the monsooned process.
The origins of monsooned coffee go back to a singular anecdote: cargoes of Indian coffee, en route to Europe via the Cape of Good Hope, were exposed to strong humidity and the salty winds of the monsoon during the journey. These conditions helped to create a low-acid coffee with woody aromas, particularly of wild herbs.
Today, the coffee is processed according to the same principle. It is spread out in open warehouses for 4 to 5 days, then placed in bags, stored and arranged in such a way as to leave space between them to allow the monsoon to influence the coffee. After several weeks, the coffee changes colour, taking on a yellow tinge, marking the 'monsooned' process.
Each bag of green coffee provides detailed information such as density, hydrometry, etc.
Please note: Green coffee must be roasted before being used in an automatic machine or grinder. Failure to do so could damage your equipment.

The type of roast will affect the balance of flavours (bitterness, acidity, sweetness, etc.) and reveal the aromas of the terroir to a greater or lesser extent.
The more the coffee is roasted the more its colour will change (from light to dark). The darker the roast, the more the aromatic notes are lost in favour of the roasting notes.
All our coffees have been placed in a colorimeter by our experts in order to compare the roast intensity.
The aromatic groups describe the tasting notes of your cup (hazelnut, chocolate, peach, white flowers, etc.).
If you don't know what your coffee profile is yet, we advise you to start with the most appreciated aromatic groups: rich & sweet or woody.
Please Note: this is not a flavoured coffee but aromatic notes noticed upon tasting.
The dominant aromatic group represents the most perceptible notes and the secondary group, the more subtle notes present in the cup.
Traditional Coffees (classic and superior) are the most common in the various distribution channels.
Specialty Coffees (rated 80-100) are among the best coffees in the world and represent less than 10% of world production. These are flawless coffees that offer unique tasting notes from one terroir (or even plot) to another.
Attributed by “Q Graders”, a coffee's /100 score is determined by the quality of the beans and the result in the cup. It is advisable to progressively move towards coffees with higher scores.
