Earthy with full body. The origins of Monsooned Malabar date back to the times of the British Raj, when, during the months that the beans were transported by sea from India to Europe, the humidity and the sea winds combined to cause the coffee to ripen from the fresh green to a more aged pale yellow. With time the length of this journey was dramatically reduced & the beans were better protected from the elements. However, the Europeans noticed that the coffee beans arriving in their ports lacked depth & character of the coffee beans they used to receive. An alternative process was implemented to replicate these conditions, so that this incredible coffee could be enjoyed once again.
