Indian Monsoon Malabar - Roasted Coffee

About this product

Indian "Monsooned" Malabar - Roasted Coffee Cupping Notes: Baker's Chocolate, Creamy, Malty Light Roast with a Mild Body Indian Monsoon Malabar is a unique coffee with unmatched smoothness and a mellow flavor and mouthfeel. Notes of baker's chocolate come through predominantly and finish with mild, creamy flavor. This particular coffee undergoes a specialized monsoon process which changes it from its original form to a new size, shape and color. The concept of "monsooning" coffee began during a time when coffee beans were still being transported in the hulls of ships on voyages from India to Europe. Due to the high humidity and gusty sea breezes, the unroasted beans began to change in appearance by the time it reached its destination. The beans were swollen and had a pale yellow color much different from how they were originally harvested. Europeans soon discovered that the coffee had a very smooth and mellow flavor and it became increasingly popular. Today, monsooning is replicated in warehouses. Unroasted coffee is similarly exposed to elements and then sold to roasters all over the world to reproduce the same mellow cup that started an entire movement. Monsoon Malabar coffee is prepared from Arabica cherries (“cherry” refers to dry-processed coffees in India). After grading, the coffee is transported to the coastal city of Mangalore where the “monsooning” is carried out in large open-walled warehouses. During the rainy months of June through August, the coffee is spread inside the warehouses with very good aeration and ventilation at a particular thickness so that the coffee slowly absorbs moisture.
