India Malabar Monsooned Voyage” is a very distinctive coffee yielding a medium-roast of top-grade Arabica beans that have been exposed to nature’s elements during the processing stage. It is known for its light body, gentle tanginess, and mellow, soft flavor.
In the 1600s, sacks of coffee beans traveled, sometimes up to six months, from India to Europe via slow sailing ships. The beans were packed away in the cargo holds of the bottom of the ship and they would sit in a wet, damp climate with no access to fresh air or sunlight. By the time these beans arrived in Europe, they were swollen and yellowed and the Europeans, not knowing any different, brewed them and enjoyed them. They came to love their coffee as a brew with a sweetly fermented fruit that had an intriguing musty tone, but one that is not at all sharply bitter.
