По пути мы заехали ещё на кофейную плантацию. Ну, точнее, не прям на плантацию, а скорее в огород, так как основной сезон на плантациях начинается в ноябре, и сбор проходит в основном один раз в год. На этой территории, куда мы приехали, кусты кофе растут по соседству с манго, джекфруктом и специями - наверное, кстати, это как-то отражается и на последующем вкусе самого зерна. Мужчина показал, как ферментируется зерно, а Димончик поведал пару историй про ржавчину кофе, про то, что сейчас культура выращивания кофе начинает свой новый виток на Ланке и что основную массу кофейных ягод собирают вручную. Вот что говорит ChatGPT: До середины XIX века Шри-Ланка вообще была кофейным островом, а не чайным. Англичане массово засаживали центральные высокогорья арабикой, и Канди был одним из главных регионов. Но в 1869 году появилась грибковая болезнь — coffee leaf rust («ржавчина кофейного листа»), которая за несколько десятилетий уничтожила практически все плантации. После этого британцы начали массово высаживать чай. Именно поэтому сегодня Шри-Ланка ассоциируется с чаем, хотя могла стать одним из крупнейших производителей кофе в мире. Чем отличается кофе под Канди? Главное отличие — высота. 600–1200 м над уровнем моря. Более прохладные ночи. Частые туманы. Богатые вулканические и красные почвы. Много естественной тени. Всё это заставляет ягоду созревать медленнее, а значит — накапливать больше сахаров.
