A medium roast complements its naturally bold, low-acid, nutty character — deep and rounded without becoming sharp.

Processing: Monsooned

Monsooned Malabar is exposed to monsoon winds and moisture after harvest until the beans swell and mellow — a uniquely Indian process that produces a bold, nutty, and remarkably low-acid cup found nowhere else.

Frequently asked questions

What does Monsoon Malabar AA taste like?

Bold, nutty, and cocoa-rich with malt and dried-fruit notes, a heavy body, and remarkably low acidity.

What is monsooned coffee?

A uniquely Indian process where beans are exposed to monsoon winds and moisture until they swell and mellow, producing a bold, low-acid cup found nowhere else.

Is Monsoon Malabar good for espresso?

Excellent — its heavy body and low acidity make a smooth, powerful shot that stands up beautifully to milk.

Is Monsoon Malabar low in acidity?

Yes — the monsooning process mellows acidity dramatically, which is why it is so smooth and easy on the stomach.

What is the best way to brew it?

Espresso and moka pot suit it best, bringing out its body and depth; it also makes a rich French press.

What does "AA" mean?

AA refers to the bean grade — a larger, more uniform screen size, often associated with quality lots.

Does it work with milk?

Very well — its bold, low-acid body carries powerfully through milk in lattes and cappuccinos.

Should I buy whole bean or ground?

Whole bean if you can grind; otherwise choose your brew method at checkout and we'll grind to match.
