A very individual coffee. Saturated by the monsoon rains and cooled by monsoon winds, giving this coffee a larger than average bean. In the days of old wooden sailing ships, coffee had to pass through the warm, moist monsoon-beset regions of the equator and down to the cold, dry lower latitudes to get around South America. This drastic change in climate changing the profile of the beans. Today Monsooned Malibar coffee is aged by having monsoon winds, saturated with moisture, blown over the drying beans. This produces a delicious earthy taste and medium body, with a soft, mellow, smooth-bodied character.
