India Monsoon Malabar (French Roast)

Roaster notes

This India Monsoon Malabar comes from several farmers in the Chikmagalur district of Karnataka, located in southwestern India. The unique monsooning process exposes coffee beans to moisture-laden monsoon winds in well-ventilated warehouses, resulting in a low acidity cup that many coffee drinkers prefer. Tasting notes include smoky character, spices, and dark chocolate.
