India AA Monsooned Malabar Aspinwall

Roaster notes

This single-origin Arabica from India's Malabar coast undergoes a distinctive monsooning process, where green beans are stored in ventilated sheds from June through September, allowing moist ocean winds to permeate them daily. The result is a powerful, stimulating cup with low acidity and wild character, featuring earthy tones alongside caramel-like sea salt notes and hints of spice or smoke. Hand-sorted by size and defects at the end of the monsoon season, these AA-grade beans are then dried for several months before being slow-roasted in small batches.
