What the roaster says about where it came from

Country

India

Altitude

200 m

Not stated

region, farm or estate, producer, process, variety, harvest, lot, importer, price paid to the producer

We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.

Where each fact came from

Acidity

“Its naturally low acidity and substantial body make it particularly well suited to darker roasting and bold brewing methods.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Altitude, lowest

“Tasting Notes: Dark Chocolate Spice Earthy Origin: India Region: Manjarabad, Karnataka Process: Monsooned Altitude: 900–1,200 MASL Grade: AA Screen Size: 18 Roast: Dark Recommended Brew Methods Espresso ★★★★★ A fantastic choice for a big, full-bodied espresso.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Flavour families

“The result is a heavy, creamy coffee with notes of dark chocolate and warming spice, accompanied by the earthy, slightly savoury character for which Monsoon Malabar is famous. Its naturally low acidity and substantial body make it particularly well suited to darker roasting and bold brewing methods.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Country of origin

“India's Monsoon Malabar is unlike almost any other coffee we roast – bold, full-bodied and remarkably low in acidity, with deep chocolate, warming spice and an unmistakably earthy character.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Roast level

Roasted to order

“All of our coffees are 100% Specialty Grade - We roast to order so you can guarantee the freshest possible coffee - All of our coffees are ethically sourced We always recommend buying whole bean coffee as this is the best for freshness.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Tasting notes

How it travelled

“The story of Monsoon Malabar dates back to the days when coffee travelled from India to Europe aboard wooden sailing ships.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

A further 1 fact on this page was read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for it.

Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
