India: Monsooned Malabar AA, Karnataka

Monsooned Malabar AA is a signature of India’s southwest coast, crafted in Karnataka at 1,100–1,200 masl from varieties like Kents, S.795, Catimor, and Selection 9. “AA” designates the largest, most uniform bean screen size, prized for its density and clean roasting performance. After harvest, green coffee is exposed to humid monsoon winds in open warehouses, swelling the beans and softening acidity while building plush texture and mellow sweetness. At a dark roast, the cup delivers bold fudgy chocolate and molasses, with toffee, toasted nut, and a gentle earthy spice. Acidity sits very low and smoothly integrated, the body is heavy and coating, and the finish is long, sweet, and clean—comforting, distinctive, and built for rich espresso.
