India: Mysore Nuggets, Chikmagalur District

“Nuggets” are India’s top Extra Bold screen selections—large, dense arabica beans historically exported from the princely state of Mysore. Sourced from legacy estates in Karnataka’s highlands, these lots are prized for sweetness, polish, and tactile weight. Taken to a dark roast with an extended Maillard phase, the profile lands in a fudge‑bittersweet chocolate core; caramelized sugars read as molasses and toffee; and roasted‑almond/walnut tones anchor the mid‑palate. Acidity falls to a low, the body is heavy and coating with excellent crema potential. Expect a long, tidy cocoa‑nut finish—luxurious, consistent, and built for comfort or dense espresso bases.
