Indian Style Coffee

The cultivation history of Indian coffee, according to legend, began when the Islamic pilgrim Baba Budan first carried coffee seedlings out of the Arab world around 1650 AD and successfully cultivated them in Chickmagalur, in the Karnataka region of southern India. To this day, coffee from this region still holds a significant place among Indian Arabica varieties.

India's coffee production ranks roughly fifth in the world, and it is the only country that simultaneously produces both Robusta and Arabica with both natural and washed processing methods while maintaining consistent supply and continuous commercial export.

Indian style coffee uses Jayanti Plantation AA from the ancient growing region of Chickmagalur. These beans come from India's oldest growing region — the very place where the sage Baba Budan brought coffee for cultivation. The beans have excellent viscosity and a superior, buttery mouthfeel. As a base for blending, they offer excellent balance and clarity. The acidity is sweet rather than sharp, with distinct layers of rich cocoa aroma and nutty flavours. A unique Indian spice fragrance adds a mysterious charm to the coffee.

FrontStreet Coffee Recommendation

Indian coffee like Jayanti Plantation AA was made for milk-based and espresso-style drinks, and a moka pot is the easiest way to enjoy that rich, low-acid, buttery character at home. FrontStreet Classic Espresso Blend was designed specifically for espresso and moka pots, and its greatest strength is crema: even a beginner with a non-professional home machine can pull a dense, silky layer of it. Built on the traditional Mamba recipe, it is mellow and warming, easy for both veterans and newcomers to enjoy, and equally at home in a domestic or commercial setting.

If you would rather not chase maximum crema, or you are keeping costs in check, FrontStreet Dark Cocoa Blend fits the bill: 100% Arabica, generous crema, full body, and a friendly price that balances quality and value. For a long-standing commercial workhorse that predates it, FrontStreet Commercial Blend costs less than the Specialty Blend while still being tuned for both flavour and cost, making it a perennial choice for cafes.

You can also brew a single origin through the moka pot. FrontStreet PWN Golden Mandheling is roasted dark for a very low acidity and a thick, lingering body, full of herbal and dark chocolate notes with a faint earthy edge — ideal for anyone who likes it strong and dislikes sourness. FrontStreet Brazil Queen's Estate is another crowd-pleaser: low acidity, a very balanced cup with intense nut and cocoa aromas and clear caramel sweetness, smooth and never astringent, and just as good by pour-over, espresso or moka pot.
