How Indian Monsooned Coffee first came about happened by accident, for on the long voyage from India to Europe, coffee beans were exposed to monsoon winds. The beans then underwent a distinct change in color and characteristics which gave the coffee a powerful, new taste. The coffee was then appropriately named Monsooned Malabar coffee. There is no other coffee in the world that has the shape, color, size, aroma, or taste of this coffee as a result of special post-harvest processing. Indian Monsooned Malabar coffee offers a medium body with pleasant undertones, medium acidity, a hint of a wooden taste, a thick texture, and it is amazingly smooth.
