Coffee from India - Malabar

Discover the "monsooned Malabar" process with this coffee of character. Malabar is a region located on the southwest coast of the Indian peninsula. The influence of the sea winds give all the typicity to this coffee. The term "Monsooned" was coined after a transport accident. Cargoes of Indian coffee beans destined for Europe and passing through the Cape of Good Hope were exposed to the high humidity of the sea spray during the voyage. When they arrived, however, these coffees enjoyed a certain success in Europe. This particular quality was soon sought after. To achieve this monsoon quality today, plain coffee is stored in open-sided storage spaces and exposed to monsoon winds. This coffee has had an official sign of quality for several years: the Geographical Indication “Malabar Moussonné”.
