The worlds most expensive shit coffee

The worlds most costly coffee blend goes through the digestion system of the Asian animal Luwak. 

The coffee beans are grown in Indonesia and are harvested by the Luwaks. A Luwak is also known as Asian Palm Civet, and can be  described as a fusion of a cat and a monkey. They supposedly have a gift for picking the best coffee bean berries. The juices from the animals stomach is what gives the coffee such a rich taste. So the beans are only picked after they've gone through the Luwaks droppings. Then off course they will be washed and sun dried.

A cup of Kopi Luwak can cost you up to 2000 rupees!

What got me through exams

Sri Krishna Sagar's ten bucks worth parcel-coffee, was what got me through my end semester exams this October

This is the closest coffee place to my P.G where you get your coffee fast, hot and strong. 
Still its a little to sweet for my taste, and I can't figure out how they actually get the coffee so sweet, because I can't see the coffee-maker adding any sugar, only milk to the coffee mixture. So the sweetness must be in the coffee mixture itself.

This guy have seen me in the most stressful conditions, and during my exams I found his apathic face rather soothing. Today though he gave me chai in stead of coffee! 


I was to preoccupied with taking his picture that I didn't notice before I had a huge sip of the sickening sweet liquid. I took another sip just to see if it would magically turn into coffee, but sadly it didn't.


I forcefully threw my wasted 10 rupees in the nearest dustbin and marched straight to Kalmane Koffees!

My Current Favorite

Kalmane Koffees is my favorite place these days.

Their coffees are primarily based on filter coffee and you get them served in the traditional stainless steal cups if you want.

The bluegrass is favorite right now, but I`m waiting desperately for their cardamom stock to be filled up, so I can taste some real Indian flavored coffee!

You will find several Kalmane Koffees in Bangalore, but the one I go to is located here.

A coffee-blog in the land of tea

This is a blog for all the established or up and coming coffee-lovers out there.

All though India is a major tea-country the number of coffee consumers are growing, so I see a potential audience of what will be a ground breaking blog!

This is me:

 

Before coming to India this was usually how you would see me, with two black coffees in my hand. My name is Sofie Prestegard, and I from a tiny country called Norway, were we love our coffee black, and in big quantities. 

One my first culture shocks after coming to India was how milky and sweet the coffee is here, and how it is inferior to tea or chai. As a coffee-lover though Karnataka is the place to be. Which is the biggest coffee state in India when it comes to production.


Through this blog I will explore the culture of Coffee both here in India and internationally. I will give you news about coffee, fun facts, recipes, competitions and off course I will gladly test the coffees at the many undiscovered coffee joints of Bangalore. 


Opinionated as you are, feel free to give me feedback, tips and comments.
