Ingredients
100 % Arabica BIOCrema and flavour of the coffee
India Monsoon Malabar AA Grade BIO coffee beans are characterized by a higher acidity, which is pleasantly tempered by earthiness, smokiness, and some bitterness. It is a coffee for those who are looking for something special, who like to indulge in originality, and who have no preconceptions when it comes to the taste of coffee. The coffee is distinguished by its large bean size of 0,64-0,72 cm, denoted by the number 18. The bean has a beautiful yellow colour, so even after medium roasting, the coffee is lighter than others.
Origin of the coffee
Monzoned coffee is a speciality of India. Why do local farmers monsoon their coffee? Let us enlighten you on this matter. When India was a major European supplier in the 19th century, coffee spent several long weeks travelling across oceans and seas. During these, sacks filled with Indian beans lay on the deck, left to the wind, rain, cold, salty sea air, and contact with the wooden decks of ships. It so happened that, thanks to the voyage, the coffee absorbed a unique aroma, and its taste became unmistakable and highly sought after by Europeans. With the passage of time and the acceleration of transport, Indian coffee was transported to its European customers in shorter periods and on more modern vessels, which did not make coffee lovers very happy. It had lost its distinctive ''monsoon'' taste. For this reason, Indian producers have returned to monsoon and left the harvested, dried beans exposed to the humid ocean air for over two months.
India Monsoon Malabar AA Grade BIO coffee is grown in the Karnataka region, close to the coast. Farmers plant clove, cinnamon, or cardamom plants amongst the coffee plants so that the ripening coffee cherries can "soak up" their aroma and deposit it in the beans. As the name of the coffee implies, the bushes are grown under organic farming. They are not fertilized or treated with industrially produced products that could leave harmful substances in them.
The harvesting in Karnataka is done throughout the growing season as the coffee cherries gradually ripen. The red coffee cherries must be stripped of their skin and pulp, and the loose beans carefully dried. For monsoon coffee, only beans of grades A and AA are selected. From more distant plantations, they are brought directly to the coast, where workers spread them on concrete slabs and leave them in the care of the moist, salty, and often icy ocean air for 8-10 weeks. During that time, they are raked very often to keep them from moulding.
European, American, and Japanese coffee lovers are among the biggest buyers of monsoon Indian coffee.

Thanks to the hermetic seal, this container helps the contents further keep their freshness and protect them against humidity, light or foreign odors.
