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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConsidering 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFlavor Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smoky, spicy, earthy, with a malty sweetness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody:\u003c\/strong\u003e Extremely full-bodied — coats the mouth long after the last sip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAcidity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very low — the monsoon process strips nearly all acidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRoast:\u003c\/strong\u003e Signature Medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis isn't a coffee everyone is likely to enjoy — and that's exactly the point.
