Monsooned Malabar
Cupping notes: In the cup, the aroma is powerful with sweet spices and black licorice. A moderate body contributes to the lingering sweet finish. This coffee produces a wonderfully clean cup and smooth mouth feel.
Farming notes: The harvested coffee seeds are exposed to the monsoon rain and winds for a period of about three to four months, causing the beans to swell and lose the original acidity, resulting in a flavor profile with a practically neutral pH balance.
History – The origins of Monsoon Malabar date back to the times of the British Raj, when, during the months that the beans were transported by sea from India to Europe, the humidity and the sea winds combined to cause the coffee to ripen from the fresh green to a more aged pale yellow. In the past, when wooden vessels carried raw coffee from India to Europe, during the monsoon months taking almost six months to sail around the Cape of Good Hope, the coffee beans, exposed to constant humid conditions, underwent characteristic changes. The beans changed in size, texture, and appearance, both as beans and in the cup.
Recommended Roast: Light-medium to Dark
