Monsoon coffees are unique and distinctive - there is nothing else like them anywhere.

Monsoon coffees are unique and distinctive - nothing else like them anywhere.

Solid and robust, these coffees are like pouring jelly into a cup: thick, dense body, massive crema and insane complexity.

If you can think of a herb or spice, it's detectable in the Monsoon Malabar - it's got anything and everything at the same time.

A particular type of coffee drinker will become addicted, infatuated and most likely obsessed with life once they experience Monsoon Malabar - all other coffees will pale into insignificance.

It would be best to have a super-fine grind as the Monsoon process dehydrates every bit of moisture. The lack of water and density also makes roasting difficult.

The Monsoon Malabar is just for you if you enjoy Greek or Turkish-style coffees.

A coffee you should consider trying if you have not yet.

Don't be put off by the funky aroma; it's a different coffee experience.

Guide - Gosh, where to start. It's a seriously difficult coffee to use in espresso situations as the grind needs to be so damn fine the burrs are almost touching.

Anything less than ultra fine will result in gushing brews and under extraction. Make sure you have a good grinder.

Spicy and funky. Not only does it smell strange the flavor is deeply rooted in spicy notes and chocolate. A powerful coffee with low acid.
