With low acidity and notes of baker’s chocolate and creamy undertones, Monsooned Malabar is a perfect choice for those seeking a mellow yet bold cup.
Origin & Processing
The origins of Monsooned Malabar Coffee date back to the 17th-century spice trade, when coffee beans from India to Europe would be stored in the hulls of wooden ships for months. The humid ocean winds and fluctuating temperatures caused the beans to swell, turn golden-yellow, and develop a smooth, mellow flavour.
Today, this process is intentionally recreated in India’s Malabar region during the monsoon season.
✔ Region: Malabar Coast, India
✔ Processing Method: Monsooning (humidity exposure in open warehouses)
✔ Altitude: 3,000 – 4,000 feet
✔ Bean Appearance: Large, golden-hued, and lightweight
During monsooning, harvested beans are exposed to humid monsoon winds for 12-16 weeks, transforming their colour, texture, and flavour profile. This natural aging process results in a coffee that is low in acidity, bold in body, and incredibly smooth.
