Roasted - Indian Monsoon Malabar AA (Coffee of the Week)

About the bean

Hello again, you glorious weirdo.

Born from the cinematic, dramatic monsoon breezes of southern India, these Arabica beans get the full spa treatment: parked in airy, open structures or breathable sacks, they bathe in humidity for 12 to 16 weeks straight. The extensive moisture soak causes a swell up and doubling in size, while the atmospheric intensity turns the beans a ghostly pale. A wild, spicy, musty, earthy result emerges — and one with serious soul.

A cult coffee that marches to its own groovy beat, expect a flavourful, dense, sweet and heady encounter. Indian Monsoon delivers a punchy espresso, gifts its velvet magic in blends, and creeps into obsession as a solo act. Home roasters: the monsoon lands quietly — easy and even, which is a nice surprise.

In general, watch out, folks! These quirky nuggets can hijack your heart (and morning routine).
