rohkaffee indien monsooned-malabar sortierung

The basis for this Monsooned Malabar coffee are Indian Cherry AA beans from Karnataka in the Chickmagalur District, one of the most traditional regions for coffee in India. According to legend, the Muslim pilgrim Baba Budan brought seven coffee seeds more than 400 years ago from his pilgrimage to the Holy Land. He planted them next to his mountain cave in Chikmahalur, which has since been considered the cradle of coffee cultivation in India.

On a larger scale, coffee has been grown in India since around 1840, when the British established coffee plantations across southern India. The tropical climate, high altitudes, sunny slopes, abundant rainfall, and humus-rich soils in the region were ideal for coffee cultivation.

During that time, coffee from India was transported to Europe in wooden sailing ships, taking four to six months to sail around the Cape of Good Hope.

The part of the coffee that was stored below the waterline absorbed moisture that penetrated through the wood. When it arrived in Europe, the coffee was no longer green but golden-yellow, large, and almost free of fruit acid. This effect has since been further developed in India in the so-called Monsooning process: naturally processed coffee beans are laid out in layers in brick or concrete warehouses, through which the moist wind from the Arabian Sea blows during the monsoon months from June to September. The coffee comes from various estates in the region and was grown at 1,000 to 1,800 meters above sea level on clayey soil. The coffee is harvested and processed very carefully, as well as sorted by size to achieve the most uniform roasting possible. It is particularly popular among espresso enthusiasts.

Preparation Recommendation

Monsooned Malabar beans are particularly popular as espresso, but also café crème and Bialetti. It is recommended especially for coffee drinkers who love low-acid and full-bodied coffee.

This is a high-quality Monsooned Malabar; therefore, it can be enjoyed single-origin, but also works very well as a base for a blend with fruitier coffees.

Ingo's Roasting Recommendation & Roast Profiles

I recommend a medium-dark (Full City) roast. Since the coffee has very low acidity, it can be roasted rather lightly by lovers of low-acid coffees. This brings out the spicy and nutty flavours more and the coffee retains some sweetness. When blending with other beans, I recommend roasting the beans separately at least initially, as the Malabar beans are large and have low density. Later, you can try mixing the coffee before roasting.
