CCD, Barista, Java city, Gloria Jeans, Starbuck, Strong, Filter, Drip, Chicory, Meter - do these words trigger your olfactory senses?


Yes, the refreshing smell of Coffee indeed.

Just imagine, waking up early on a cold morning, walking down the misty trails of a coffee estate filled with bird calls, the morning dew still fresh on those ripe coffee beans and suddenly lit by the golden rays of the rising sun.

You can take a coffee estate tour to know what is Arabica, Robusta and what percentage of it with Chicory makes a good coffee and also know about the spices grown there. You may also come across the world's most expensive coffee, Kopu Luwak or bump into its manufacturer the civet cat.

Filter coffee is also known as drip coffee which is prepared from the decoction obtained by slow dripping/filtering of freshly ground coffee beans. Meter coffee is named so because of the way the coffee is poured into the glass from almost a meter high to mix it well.
