Monsoon Malabar - Morning Mist (Light Roast)

From the roaster

A legendary Indian classic, Monsoon Malabar - Coastal Spirit is a rich and mellow coffee defined by the unique monsooning process. Aged in monsoon winds, the beans develop a smooth, syrupy body with low acidity and deep notes of spice, wood and cocoa - perfect for bold black brews or robust espresso blends. Overview These coffees are born out of a unique processing called “Monsooning” along the South Western Malabar Coast of India during the rain bearing Monsoon season and are generically called Monsooned Coffees. In the cup, expect a full, rich body with low acidity, ideal for filter methods. The monsoon exposure creates a distinctive profile that evokes Indian spice lanes and coastal air, making this coffee a timeless legacy brew. Producer Story The monsooning tradition - born from accidental exposure to monsoon winds during colonial sea trade - has become a celebrated Indian specialty. It’s a testament to how weather and environment can transform green beans into a unique sensory experience, distinct from conventional washed or natural coffees.
