About the Coffee

This is not a coffee that can be traced back to the farm - so whether it is grown organically is uncertain.

This coffee tells a story. 18th Century Europe imported coffee from India. The coffee arrived via a 3 month ship’s journey in which the coffee sat on the wooden deck exposed to salt water and rains. When technology improved and the coffee arrived quickly, the Europeans said, “what’s wrong with this coffee? It doesn't taste musty!” So India started selling a special coffee that is allowed to sit outdoors on wooden planks during monsoon season. It’s really more of a novelty now than a real popularity item, but if you want to know what coffee tasted like 200 years ago, try a pound of this. It's a little rough straight up, and a bit bitter in the aftertaste.
