Indian Monsoon Malabar AA has a low acidity and is exceptionally smooth, full bodied with pleasant Chocolate under tones. Interestingly, the discovery of Monsoon coffee was made quite by accident. During the long voyage from India to Europe, sailing ships carrying coffee were exposed to monsoon winds. The beans on these ships underwent a change of color and characteristics and the coffee acquired a whole new taste. This new and unique brand of coffee was appropriately named Monsooned Malabar AA.

"(1 to 5 stars): 5+ stars. Reason: I love this coffee and the one from this company rates higher than most."
Allan Staunton
In the days of sailing ships, coffee shipped from India to Europe took almost six months to reach its destination. During that shipping process, the humidity at sea changed the beans allowing it to acquire a distinct rich, mellow taste and a unique golden look.
This entire flavor experience is recaptured by the process of "monsooning" green coffee from June through September when the Southwest monsoon rain season is very intense on the Indian West coast. Green coffee beans are held in special warehouses that expose them to the humid monsoon winds allowing them to swell up to nearly double the size and change the color of the beans to a golden yellow.
India's coffee grows up to 5,900 feet above sea level, usually on terraces in the mountainous regions. The best Indian coffees are grown in the states of Karnataka (formerly Mysore - approximately 80% of Indian coffee), Kerala, and Tamilnadu (formerly Madras).
Indian Monsoon Coffees are known for a soft, velvety smooth, rich, mellow full-bodied character with very low acidity and a pleasant earthy flavor. In addition, these excellent coffees incorporate the unique spicy flavors of nutmeg, clove, cardamom and pepper. Simply old world excellence!
