Indian Monsoon Malabar coffee is an exceptional and unique bean, renowned for its earthy flavor and distinctive characteristics. Grown on the Malabar Coast of southwestern India, this coffee is one of the most renowned in the world for its distinctive monsoon process. What sets it apart is the unique method of preparation: the beans are exposed to the monsoon rains for several weeks, allowing them to absorb moisture from the humid air. This traditional process transforms the beans, giving them a rich, mellow taste with a smooth, low acidity and a full-bodied flavor profile.
The beans used in Indian Monsoon Malabar are sourced from the high-altitude regions of southern India, where the fertile soils and humid tropical climate create an ideal environment for coffee cultivation. During the monsoon season, the beans are spread out and subjected to the intense monsoon rains and winds, which causes the beans to swell and change in appearance. This results in a coffee with a distinctive taste – earthy, mellow, and with a unique, low-acid profile that sets it apart from other coffees.
The coffee features notes of wet wood, spice, and earth, with a smooth, almost syrupy body. These unique flavors create a coffee experience that is bold and rich but not overwhelming, making it a favorite for those who appreciate full-bodied, smooth coffee with a touch of complexity. The coffee’s mellow nature makes it perfect for those who enjoy a less acidic coffee, yet still want a full, rich flavor that lingers on the palate.
