This exotic coffee is a real treat to your palate. It is an Indian coffee that has a unique and wonderful flavor. If you like a coffee with low acidity, thick body, and a bit of . . . a bit of . . . a bit of, well the exact words escape me and you will just have to try it for yourself. Historically, it took six months or longer for the coffees leaving India in the wooden hulls of sailing ships to make it down the East African Coast, around the Cape (many here being smashed on the rocks) and then up the Western coast of Africa to Europe. During this time the Indian coffee, which was subject to monsoon humidity in port, took the flavor of wood and the sea. After the invention of the steamer and the Suez Cannel, this long trip was shortened, and this "monsooned" flavor disappeared. But this flavor was missed, and thus was born Monsooned Malabar To make, or "Monsoon" the coffee, plantation arabica is laid out in the open and exposed to monsoon winds and rains for about a week, then placed in bags in warehouses exposed to the salt and sea winds during the monsoon season. The beans swell with moisture and turn a pale yellow. This coffee tastes like no other, and it is usually a love-hate relationship. You either really love it or you think it the worst coffee you ever tasted. Live on the wild side and give it a try. I have customers who really love it.
