India Monsooned Malabar is a naturally processed coffee from the Malabar Coast of Karnataka. The beans are exposed to monsoon rains and winds for 3-4 months (June through September) in well-ventilated warehouses, causing them to swell and turn pale gold. This processing method replicates the coffee's historical journey on wooden sailing vessels to Europe. The resulting coffee is deep and full-bodied with earthy and cocoa notes, complemented by cedar and spiced nuts.

Operating multiple cafés throughout the region while maintaining a roastery equipped with Loring and Sivitz equipment, the company has built its reputation on consistency and quality in one of America's most distinctive coffee roasting locations. The roastery's vintage farmhouse setting and proximity to pristine wilderness embody a roasting philosophy deeply connected to place.
