monsoon malabar is an indian coffee processed through a traditional monsooning method, where dried beans are exposed to humid coastal winds, swelling them and reducing acidity significantly. sourced and roasted by the coffee roaster, this cup sits at the heavier, earthier end of the spectrum, with tropical fruit brightness alongside milk and dark chocolate sweetness and a distinctive mushroom-savoury depth. that low acidity and full body make it well suited to espresso and stovetop brewing, where its weight and complexity come through cleanly without turning sharp or thin.
