Indian Monsoon Malabar - Espresso Capsules

Indian Monsoon Malabar is a unique coffee with unmatched smoothness and a mellow flavor and mouthfeel. Notes of baker's chocolate come through predominantly and finish with mild, creamy flavor. This particular coffee undergoes a specialized monsoon process which changes it from its original form to a new size, shape and color.

The concept of ""monsooning"" coffee began during a time when coffee beans were still being transported in the hulls of ships on voyages from India to Europe. Due to the high humidity and gusty sea breezes, the coffee began to change in appearance by the time it reached its destination. The beans were swollen and had a pale yellow color much different from how they were originally harvested. Europeans soon discovered that the coffee had a very smooth and mellow flavor and it became increasingly popular. Today, monsooning is replicated in warehouses. Coffee is similarly exposed to elements and then sold to roasters all over the world to reproduce the same mellow cup that started an entire movement.

These new & improved Nespresso OriginalLine-compatible aluminum capsules allow this Indian coffee to shine with its bold body and rich crema. Whether you're pulling a single shot or making an espresso-based beverage, this Monsooned Malabar is an excellent choice.

Timeline

Harvest and export times are based off when a particular coffee will be at its peak quality. Cherries picked at the start of the harvest season tend to be underdeveloped, and those picked at the end are often overdeveloped, so producers aim for that sweet spot in the middle.

India

On a ship sailing the Cape of Good Hope from India to Europe, a legendary coffee process would be discovered by accident. During transport, constant humidity and ocean winds caused by the Indian monsoon season made the coffee beans swell, change texture, and take on a pale-yellow color. These “Monsooned” beans were ...
