Illy India 250 g
Illy India belongs to the exclusive range Arabica Selection, which focuses on single-origin 100% Arabica sourced from India, specifically from the Karnataka region - known for coffee grown in shade. Illy selects only the highest quality beans: reportedly only 1% of the best Arabica beans.
Individual origins are roasted separately, with precisely set temperature and time, to best highlight the typical aromatic tones and flavors of India. After processing, the coffees are packaged in Trieste, Italy, in pressure cans filled with inert gas – allowing them to maintain freshness for up to 24 months.
Illy India stands out with a pronounced, full body with intense notes of black pepper and extra dark chocolate, which underscore the character of the spice country. Additionally, subtle hints of vanilla, cardamom, and citrus fruits appear in the aroma, providing a complex and spicy flavor profile. Acidity is low and very well balanced, allowing for a fuller and robust enjoyment of each cup.
Illy India is primarily developed for espresso, but also works great in moka pots or filtered preparations, where the darker roast well develops the flavor potential. Users often appreciate its consistency – stable taste and aroma even with repeated use, as long as the coffee is stored in a dry, cool place away from light.
