The Process
Monsooned Malabar is a dry processed coffee that has been exposed post drying to 3 to 4 months of moisture from the monsoon winds and rain, historically at the port of Malabar. The process is designed to mimmick the exposure the coffee would have received whislt in transit on clippers in transit to Europe. The process swells and makes the bean turn a unique pale colour. At specialist drying yards, with raking, turning and ventilating, this process can be well managed and give consistency to the monsoon profile flavours and profile of caramel and syrupy body associated with this process.
