Picture this: the thunder cracks, the rain pours down in torrents, and you’re nestled in a cozy corner, clutching a steaming cup of coffee that holds within it the essence of the monsoon season. Welcome to the world of Monsoon Malabar coffee, a truly captivating brew that doesn’t just tell a story; it transports you right into the heart of the South Indian monsoons with every sip.
The origins of Monsoon Malabar lie in an age-old tale of shipping voyages and climatic alchemy. Back in the days when coffee was transported from India to Europe in wooden ships, the beans would undergo a metamorphosis during the monsoon months. The beans, exposed to the moist sea air and relentless monsoon winds, would swell up, turning pale gold and developing a unique flavour profile. This transformation was so beloved by coffee aficionados that a method was devised to replicate it on land, thus birthing the modern Monsoon Malabar.

Centuries ago, as ships sailed around the Cape of Good Hope, taking nearly 6 months to reach Europe from India’s Malabar Coast, a fascinating transformation occurred. Exposed to the moist sea winds, the coffee beans lost their original color and acquired a special earthy and mellow flavor cherished in Europe. The beans swelled, turning pale-yellow, setting them apart from regular ones. Today, this intriguing process is commercialized in Mangalore, South India.
During the Monsooning process, selected coffee cherries are dried in expansive barbecues, then cured and sorted into grades – AAA, AA, and A. They are stored in warehouses until the monsoon arrives. When the monsoon season hits, the beans are exposed to moisture-laden winds in large ventilated warehouses, absorbing the moisture and salts. This causes the beans to swell significantly, taking on a pale-yellowish or golden color. The final product is coffee with a pleasantly earthy flavor and very mellow acidity.
