A bold, low-acidity coffee with earthy notes of dark chocolate, tobacco, and spice. Naturally aged in monsoon winds for a smooth, full-bodied brew.

Grown organically along the Malabar Coast of southern India, this coffee undergoes the unique “monsooning” process—exposed to moist monsoon winds that mellow acidity and deepen the body.

The result is a smooth, full-bodied cup with earthy undertones, hints of spice, tobacco, and dark chocolate, and an exceptionally low acidity that makes it ideal for espresso or a bold filter brew.

MORE ABOUT MONSOON MALABAR

In the early days of sailing, it took clippers about six months by wooden vessels
to reach Europe. Due to the variation in climate, the coffee changed its original
bean style, colour, size and flavour.

Nowadays, Indian producers take advantage of the Monsoon to produce a speciality coffee with just the same characteristics as in the old days - without the delays. Our Monsooned coffees are exclusively prepared and imported from India. The traditional process of Monsooning is
carried out in Malabar coast i.e., west coast of India especially in Mangalore.

The Malabar region is renowned for its excellent natural resources. The humid
Monsooned atmosphere brings about the quantitative and qualitative changes
in the coffee beans, which create the unique mellow cup.

The monsooning process consists of exposing natural coffee beans, in 4- to
6-inch-thick piles, to moisture-laden monsoon winds in a well-ventilated brick
or concrete-floored warehouse. This process is carried out on the West Coast
of India, making use of the winds from the Arabian Sea during the southwest
Monsoon months of June through September.
