Product Description

This is a very unique coffee hailing from India. After harvest, the green coffee beans are exposed to the annual Monsoon winds of India. As the beans absorb the moisture of the windy air, they expand in size and take on a unique flavor. We city roast this coffee bean, which retains the very special taste characteristics. Monsooned Malabar sports an earthy flavor that is normally associated with Indonesian coffees, and is surprisingly smooth.

Possibly the smoothest full flavored coffee I've ever tasted. It has a wonderful mouth filling quality with not even a hint of harshness. It is NOT a weak or wimpy coffee, it's rich and very flavorful. I just love this coffee in my thermos too because it's just wonderful black and holds well.

This is good coffee. Not as strong or earthy as Sumatra but smoother. Our preference is strong, heavy, earthy coffee such as dark Sumatra. IMM, in comparison, is not as intense.
I wonder if the CBD coffee purchased through Amazon is not as fresh.

If you're looking at Monsooned Malabar, you probably like other Indonesian coffees. I consider this to be similar and superior to Sumatra Mandheling: rich heavy body and low acidity; the difference is in the smoothness of the Monsooned Malabar that makes it the better buy.
