Mysore Mystic®
This coffee is roasted using Plantation-A green coffee from the Mysore coffee-growing regions in Chikmagalur district. The coffee is from a single estate and selected from blocks that use a single cultivar. Estate elevation is around 4,000 feet.
When roasted light, the medium acidity of the coffee is preserved but the body is not enhanced. If roasted darker, e.g., to full city, the acidity is somewhat muted and the body is improved. Neither roasting style is ideal for this coffee because of the medium acidity. As a result, we've made Mysore Mystic® a "melange" coffee, roasting it to different degrees of roast–some very light and others darker–and then blending the components together to create an exciting flavor profile. This style is commonly known as melange in the industry.
The coffee's highlight remains its unique spicy cinnamon and cardamom aroma, with a brightness in the cup that is unusual for an Indian coffee. As a straight varietal, the coffee is smooth and mild with a clean mocha finish. Mysore Mystic® is also a great blender for both brewed coffee and espresso.
Mysore Mystic® is roasted to order and shipped the same day of roasting. Our roasted coffee is typically packaged in 5-pound, one-way valve bags. To ensure freshness, we always stamp the roast date on the bag. Freshness is extremely important, so we recommend that you purchase only a week's supply at a time. The minimum order for each coffee is 10 pounds. In return for this modest minimum, we ask that payment accompany your order. You may also charge your purchase to MasterCard, Visa, or American Express.
For Mysore Mystic®, this minimum applies to individual coffee connoisseurs as well.
