Although known for its tea, the country’s Malabar Coast is also popular for its coffee. None of the restaurants serve it because we Indians drink our coffee weak, which is why the coffee is exported. Sharpen your nose and head to the South bus junction of Ernakulam, where you will smell the sweet yet thick scent of roasted coffee inside a cave-like store with a large wooden counter. Pack the beans or buy the fine powder at Leela Coffee, located on Chittoor Road in Valanjambalam District.
