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.
common questions
What does INDIA – Monsoon Malabar ( R.T.O ) taste like?
expect tropical fruit alongside milk and dark chocolate sweetness, with a mushroom-savoury quality that sets it apart from most single origins. acidity is low, body is full, and the overall profile leans earthy and grounded rather than bright or floral.
How is INDIA – Monsoon Malabar ( R.T.O ) grown and processed?
the coffee comes from india and undergoes monsooning, a process where dried beans are exposed to humid monsoon winds on the malabar coast, causing them to absorb moisture, swell, and lose most of their natural acidity. this processing is what gives monsoon malabar its characteristic earthy, low-acid character.
How should I brew INDIA – Monsoon Malabar ( R.T.O )?
its full body and low acidity suit pressure-based methods like espresso or a stovetop moka pot, where the chocolate and savoury notes have room to develop. if brewing with filter methods, use a coarser grind and slightly cooler water to avoid amplifying any earthiness beyond your preference.
