Commercial cultivation of coffee in India began in 1840 when the British established coffee plantations throughout the mountains of Southern India. They found the tropical climate, high altitude, sunny slopes, ample rainfall, soil rich in humus content, and well drained sub soil ideal for coffee cultivation.
 
The color, shape, and size of the beans as well as their aroma and taste are the results of special post-harvest processing.  
 
The Monsooning process consists of exposing natural coffee beans in layers of 4-6 inch thickness to moisture-laden Monsoon winds in a well ventilated brick or concrete-floored warehouse. This process is carried out on the West Coast of India, making use of the winds from the Arabaian Sea during the Southwest Monsoon months of June through September.
 
In this process the beans absorb moisture in stages, swelling to nearly twice their original size and developing colors ranging from pale gold to light brown.  The end result is a special, unique flavor.
