Monsooned Malabar - India
Indian Monsooned Malabar AA
This coffee is actually exposed to monsoon winds which enhance the flavor!
Flavor Observations
Extremely low acidity, incredibly rich and smooth with a spicy, woody flavor.
Additional Information
The "monsooning" process entails spreading unwashed coffee beans in layers
4 to 6 inches thick then exposing them to moisture laden monsoon winds. This
is done by laying the coffee beans in open walled warehouses so the wind can
reach the beans. The roof remains on the warehouse which prevents them actually
getting wet.
During this 12 to 16 week process, the beans will swell up to nearly double
their original size. The color also changes to a pale white or light golden,
acidity is almost completely removed, and the unique, pleasant flavor develops.
Shade Grown and Bird Friendly
Nearly all the coffee grown in southern India is Shade Grown. This is due
to the higher temperatures found near the equator. Coffee plants here only
require about 4 hours of sunlight each day. This canopy of shade is what allows
the coffee trees to survive.
Additionally, these shade trees provide a sanctuary for birds and enhance
the quality of natural organic matter introduced to the soil from falling
leaves. This decomposed organic matter enriches the soil, conserves moisture,
and reduces the need for chemical fertilizers. Shade trees also control the
growth of weeds on the estates and reduce the incidence of insects, pests,
and leaf disease.
