About Monsoon Malabar Coffee

Monsoon Malabar Coffee is an intense yet smooth coffee with an interesting history.

Monsooned Malabar, also know as Monsoon Malabar is a process applied to coffee beans.

Monsoon Malabar Coffee Process
The harvested 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 very smooth flavour profile. This coffee is unique to the Malabar coast and Kerala Mountains. The process was discovered by chance back in the 16th century, as spice ships transported the beans across the seas to Europe. Stored in the hold of the ships, the conditions caused the beans to swell, producing a deep, heavy sweetness – an immediate hit with the Europeans.
