India Monsooned Malabar Coffee – Smoke, Chocolate, Cedar Nuts
Description
India Monsooned Malabar coffee - rich, almost without acidity, with notes of smoke, chocolate and pine nuts. The taste is reminiscent of coffee brewed over a campfire: earthy, full-bodied and unusual.
Its distinctiveness comes from monsooning - the beans are stored for several weeks in open warehouses during the monsoon rains. They absorb moisture, swell, turn a pale golden color and lose almost all of their acidity. This is a coffee for those who find ordinary varieties too acidic or too light.
It sounds best with pressure-based and full-bodied methods - espresso, a French press and especially the Bialetti Moka Express. It suits filter methods less: because of the low acidity the result can taste flat, and for those Ethiopia Djimmah is a better choice.
