Indian Monsoon |
 |
In the days of sailing ships, coffee shipped from India to Europe took almost six months to reach its destination. During that shipping process, the humidity at sea changed the beans allowing it to acquire a distinct rich, mellow taste and a unique golden look.
This entire flavor experience is recaptured by the process of "monsooning" green coffee from June through September when the Southwest monsoon rains season is very intense on the Indian West coast. Green coffee beans are held in special warehouses that expose them to the humid monsoon winds allowing them to swell up to nearly double the size and change the color of the beans to a golden yellow.
India's coffee grows up to 5,900 feet above sea level, usually on terraces in the mountainous regions. The best Indian coffees are grown in the states of Karnataka (formerly Mysore - approximately 80% of Indian coffee), Kerala, and Tamilnadu (formerly Madras).
Indian Monsoon Coffees are known for a soft, velvety smooth, rich, mellow full-bodied character with very low acidity and a pleasant earthy flavor. In addition, these excellent coffees incorporate the unique spicy flavors of nutmeg, clove, cardamom and pepper. Simply old world excellence!
Only $12.95 per lb, or buy in in 5 lb bags for an additional 10% discount. Very limited supplies available.
