India – Monsooned Malabar

India Monsooned Malabar Coffee

Our Monsooned Malabar coffee brings you a mellow, 100% Arabica cup from India. This coffee weathers the monsoon season, and we blend it with some Sumatran and Colombian coffees for depth. As a result, you get tones of walnuts and prunes in a smooth, easy-drinking cup.

It has a delicate presence in the cup. However, it leaves a surprisingly pleasant finish in the mouth.

What It Tastes Like

If you prefer a gentle cup, this coffee is a great pick. Because it has very low acidity and a medium body, it goes down smoothly. You will notice mellow tones of walnuts and prunes. Since we roast it dark, the flavors feel rich without turning harsh.

What Does “Monsooned” Mean?

Traditionally, growers in India let the beans sit in open warehouses and soak up the humid monsoon winds for several months. As a result, the beans swell and lose much of their acidity, and they pick up a mellow, earthy character. Therefore, Monsooned Malabar tastes very different from most coffees.

How to Brew It

In fact, Monsooned Malabar is versatile. For example, it works well in a French press, drip coffee maker, or pour-over. It is also smooth enough to enjoy black, although it pairs nicely with a splash of milk. Also, if you buy whole bean, grind it just before brewing to keep the flavor at its best.

Fresh From Our Roastery

Because we roast every order in Cooperstown, NY and ship it within days by USPS Priority Mail, it arrives fresh. In addition, you can choose whole bean or pick your grind at checkout. Finally, if you want fresh coffee every month, take a look at our Roasters Club subscription.

Freshness tip: Because fresh roasted coffee starts to lose its delicate flavors a few weeks after roasting, order only what you’ll use in a month or so. Then store it in an airtight container at room temperature, out of direct sunlight.

Also, every order ships via USPS Priority Mail, and orders of 3+ lbs ship free.

Then pick your grind at checkout, or choose whole bean.
