Coffee bushes intercropped with coconut and pepper on a Coorg, Karnataka estate

India Plantation A

Mysore, in south-western Karnataka, is one of India's historic coffee regions, where farms commonly intercrop coffee with pepper and cardamom. This lot is Cauvery grown at 1,100-1,300 metres, wet-processed and graded A.

Cauvery is what India calls Catimor, the Caturra and Timor cross that saved a lot of Asian coffee from leaf rust, and up here it leans into the local terroir: heavy-bodied with spicy aromatics, cedar and tobacco notes and well-balanced acidity.

If you like your coffee on the savoury side, this is a good place to spend an afternoon. A medium-dark roast brings the spice forward.
