Upphandling av Screen 19+ Specialty Arabica: Fysisk Gradering och Ursprung
Mysore Nuggets Extra Bold (MNEB) represents the absolute pinnacle of Indian washed Arabica, designated under official Coffee Board of India classifications as Plantation AAA. To earn this prestigious grade, raw coffee beans must undergo uncompromising mechanical screen separation, ensuring that at least 90% of the beans by weight are strictly retained on Screen 19 (7.50 mm round perforations), with 100% retained on Screen 18 (7.14 mm). This rigorous physical threshold separates only the largest 3% to 5% of the annual high-elevation Arabica harvest.
Screen Retention
Minimum 90% retained on Screen 19 (7.50 mm), 100% on Screen 18 (7.14 mm). Zero tolerance for under-screen beans.
Elevation & Terroir
Cultivated at 1,100 to 1,500 meters in the Western Ghats (Bababudangiri, Chikmagalur, Coorg) under diverse multi-tier shade canopy.
Processing Method
Fully washed (wet processed). Immediate cherry pulping, 24-36h natural fermentation, triple washing with mountain spring water.
Visual Standard
Spotless bluish-green to jade hue, intact clean silver skin, perfectly uniform seed anatomy, and high carbohydrate cellular density.
Cultivated in the shaded estates of Karnataka at elevations between 1,100 and 1,500 meters, MNEB beans develop under a canopy of native silver oak, rosewood, and jackfruit trees. This gentle shade microclimate prolongs fruit ripening by weeks, enabling deeper cellular nutrient density and dense sucrose accumulation in the endosperm. Only fully ripe, deep crimson cherries are selectively hand-picked, pulped on the day of harvest, naturally fermented in fresh mountain spring water, and sun-dried slowly across tiled patios until moisture reaches an optimal 11.0%.

Koppningsprofil för Indiens Kronjuvel: Kemisk Komplexitet och Espressotillämpningar
In international specialty cupping competitions and commercial roasting facilities, Mysore Nuggets Extra Bold is renowned for its distinctive sensory chemistry. Unlike high-acid East African or delicate floral Central American coffees, MNEB delivers a heavy, syrupy body paired with intense chocolate and caramel sweetness, delicate hazelnut nuances, and mild, balanced citric acidity.
The Espresso Blender's Secret Weapon
When roasted to a medium-dark development profile, the massive cellular density of Screen 19+ MNEB produces thick, elastic hazelnut crema and rich dark cocoa notes. It effortlessly cuts through steamed milk in flat whites and lattes without imparting sour astringency or harsh bitterness.
Under SCA cupping protocols administered by licensed Q-graders, Draba Ventures export shipments of Mysore Nuggets Extra Bold regularly achieve scores between 83.5 and 86.0 points. Its structural stability allows Master Roasters to apply high initial thermal energy without risk of bean surface scorching, unlocking complex furans and caramelized sugars that remain exceptionally stable in wholesale roasted packaging.
Kvalitetssäkring och Optisk Defektextraktion: 94,63 % Sortex Precision
Maintaining the spotless visual appeal and cup clarity of Mysore Nuggets Extra Bold requires rigorous defect extraction. Even minimal physical imperfections such as insect pinholes, chipped margins, or immature beans can compromise the visual premium and sensory score of an entire consignment.
To eliminate these risks, Draba Ventures applies a multi-stage quality protocol in our modern Chikmagalur curing facilities:
- Density Gravity Separation: Mechanical vibrating gravity tables separate lower-density and hollow beans based on specific gravity differentials.
- Hyperspectral Optical Sorting: High-speed VIS/NIR Sortex optical chutes scan every falling bean simultaneously across visible and near-infrared wavelengths, delivering an exceptional 94.63% optical sorting accuracy.
- Pneumatic Micro-Ejection: Instantaneous pneumatic air jets isolate chipped margins, berry borer pinholes, chalky immatures, and sour beans in real-time.
- Final Belt Verification: Certified quality inspectors conduct manual verification under balanced daylight illumination, guaranteeing fewer than 3 secondary defects and zero primary defects per 350g sample.
Fuktkontroll och Maritim Säkerhet: GrainPro Bevarande & OTA Förebyggande
Ocean freight journeys from Indian ports (New Mangalore and Cochin) to European hubs (Hamburg, Rotterdam, Antwerp, Genoa) or the Americas span 25 to 35 days, crossing extreme tropical temperature swings. Arabica's delicate cellular matrix and volatile lipid composition require rigorous stabilization to avoid cellular degradation and condensation moisture.
Target Moisture
Stabilized at 10.5% to 11.5% moisture content, guaranteed strictly below 12.0% at time of container stuffing.
Water Activity (aw)
Strictly controlled below 0.60 aw to halt enzymatic oxidation and completely inhibit mold spore growth.
GrainPro Hermetic Liners
Sealed in multi-layer high-barrier GrainPro liners inside heavy-duty 60kg export jute sacks to prevent air and vapor transfer.
Condensation Defense
Dry-pole desiccants and absorbent container ceiling blankets prevent container rain and sweat during ocean transit.
Controlling relative humidity and temperature eliminates the proliferation of Aspergillus ochraceus and Penicillium verrucosum, ensuring that every shipment strictly complies with European Union Commission Regulation (EU) 2023/915 for Ochratoxin A (OTA) limits (below 3.0 ppb). The green coffee arrives at your destination roastery with its vibrant jade-green color, fresh aroma, and pristine cup quality intact.
