Monsoon Malabar
Like most tales surrounding the origins of coffee, the story of how Monsoon Malabar came to be is most likely apocryphal — regardless, it's a pretty good story. In the late 19th century, a shipment of coffee beans was sent from India to Europe. During the journey, the ship was waylaid by the monsoon season as it traveled around the Cape of Good Hope. Exposed to the increased humidity, the beans turned a pale off-white color. Despite the off-putting appearance, the European recipients decided to consume it anyway. With that, Monsoon Malabar coffee was born.
Considering the process, it's hardly surprising that the resulting coffee is unlike any other. Monsoon Malabar is intensely flavorful and extremely full-bodied. The monsoon exposure and aging process removes almost all of the normal acidic qualities of the coffee, giving it a thick, almost grainy quality and a complete absence of brightness.
Flavor Profile
Notes: Smoky, spicy, earthy, with a malty sweetness
Body: Extremely full-bodied — coats the mouth long after the last sip
Acidity: Very low — the monsoon process strips nearly all acidity
Roast: Signature Medium
This isn't a coffee everyone is likely to enjoy — and that's exactly the point. If you want something bold, unusual, and deeply memorable, Monsoon Malabar delivers.

We really enjoyed this coffee. It had a lot of distinctive flavor and made both a really good coffee and espresso. We just wish we got the bigger bag since by the time we were really enjoying it, it was gone!
