Indian coffees are generally balanced, mild coffees, but monsooned coffee is a different story. Potent, pungent and wild, it's great for those who like strong, deep musty flavors.

This coffee bean is unique. Monsooned coffees are stored in special warehouses until the rainy season. The sides of the structure are then opened and moist monsoon winds circulate around the coffee beans making them swell in size and take on a mellowed but aggressive, musty flavor. The process is very labor intensive - coffee beans are spread on the floor of the warehouse, raked and turned by hand to enable the seeds to soak in moisture of the humid winds.

The process takes 12 to 16 months, where the beans swell to twice their original size and turn a pale golden color. Additional hand-sortings remove any beans that did not expand properly, and the coffee is then prepared for export.
