About This Coffee

Monsoon Malabar AA is a single origin coffee from India's Malabar Coast, processed in Mangalore, South India using the traditional monsooning method. Selected coffee cherries are dried, cured, and sorted before being exposed to moisture-laden monsoon winds in ventilated warehouses, causing the beans to swell and take on a pale-yellowish or golden color. This unique process results in a coffee with an earthy, mellow flavor profile, very low acidity, and noted tasting notes of dark chocolate and earthiness.
