Rast Malaba, Mysore, India
When coffee was still transported by sailing ships, a journey from India to Europe took around six months. Due to the change in climate, the green coffee beans changed in colour, size and taste. Nowadays, Indian coffee growers use the monsoon to produce a speciality coffee that has precisely these characteristics - without any time delay. The traditional process of "monsooning" is carried out in Malabar, a region located on the west coast of India north of the city of Cochin. The Malabar region is known for its natural beauty and abundant wildlife.
The humid monsoon climate causes changes in the weight and characteristics of the coffee beans, resulting in the unique soft and low-acid flavour. The "monsooning" process takes place between June and September, when the south-west monsoon winds are at their strongest. The coffee beans are selected, sorted, sieved according to the "A Grade" classification and exposed to the hot and humid climate on well-ventilated cement floors of small drying houses in layers 10 to 15 cm thick. This causes them to swell with increasing humidity, so that the original moisture content rises from around 12-14 per cent to around 16-20 per cent. In addition, the beans take on their characteristic straw-yellow to beige colour. The coffee beans are then loosely filled into jute sacks and stacked with sufficient space between them to allow the monsoon to circulate better around the sacks and to ensure that the moisture content in all the beans is roughly the same. During this process, the coffee develops its special flavour and aroma. The best coffee for a sensitive stomach.
Malabar is grown in the Indian district of Kerala. After harvesting, it is first exposed to the monsoon rains for 5 days to moisten it and then dried by the monsoon winds for 7 weeks to give it its distinctive, distinct and smooth flavour. A very well-tolerated coffee, without acidity, with a spicy, powerful body, smooth and full-bodied. The best coffee for a sensitive stomach.
