Deep, rich and wonderfully unusual, Monsoon Malabar is one of the world’s most distinctive coffees. It has an exceptionally low acidity and an incredibly full, syrupy body, with layers of dark chocolate, cocoa and treacle followed by earthy cedarwood, pipe tobacco and gentle notes of pepper and nutmeg.

The cup is smooth, mellow and almost velvety, with a long, rich finish. There’s very little of the bright acidity or fruitiness associated with many coffees, making Monsoon Malabar a completely different experience. It is particularly impressive as an espresso, where its intense body produces a wonderfully rich crema, but it is equally delicious brewed in a cafetière or AeroPress.

Monsoon Malabar takes its name from the monsoon winds of India’s Malabar Coast. Centuries ago, green coffee was transported from India to Europe by wooden sailing ships, a journey that could take several months. During the voyage, the beans were exposed to the humid, salty air of the Arabian Sea, absorbing moisture and gradually changing from green to a distinctive pale, straw-like colour.

European coffee drinkers came to love the mellow, low-acid character this created. When faster steamships eventually shortened the journey, the beans no longer underwent the same transformation and customers missed the flavour they had come to know.

Today, that historic character is recreated deliberately on India’s southwestern coast. During the southwest monsoon, unroasted coffee is spread in thick layers inside specially ventilated warehouses, where it is exposed to the moisture-laden winds blowing in from the Arabian Sea. The beans are carefully raked and turned throughout the process to ensure they are exposed evenly.

Over several months, the beans absorb moisture and undergo a remarkable transformation, developing the distinctive pale colour, mellow acidity and deep, earthy sweetness that make Monsoon Malabar so unique.

Protected by Geographical Indication status, this is a coffee with a character all of its own.

How will my coffee be packaged?

We use heat sealed bags with a one-way valve (to let gases escape but none in) and this will keep your coffee fresh for up to four months unopened (if you really want to keep it that long!) We use box-bottomed resealable valve bags as our default but if you want the tall non-resealable valve bags then please ask in the notes for order section. We then pack your bags of coffee into bespoke cardboard boxes. These will prevent your coffee from being damaged in transit and are 100% recyclable.

Where does The Bean Shop deliver to?

We currently deliver all over the UK and Europe. It can get a bit tricky further afield than that as it becomes increasingly difficult to keep track on the parcel's whereabouts. To be honest there is probably a coffee roaster a bit closer if you're outside Europe anyway!

How much does postage cost?

No-one really likes paying for postage but in order to avoid increasing our prices we have opted to charge a flat-rate of £3.00 for all our UK orders. This is expensive if you only buy one bag of coffee but becomes very reasonable if you order more bags. We use Royal Mail 1st class for orders up to 3 bags. For orders 4 bags and over we use DPD 48 hour delivery as a default (this option will require a signature upon delivery.)

In geographically isolated areas of the UK, DPD can take longer than 48 hours so we have added the option of paying for Royal Mail which could be more efficient.

How long will it take?

We aim to deliver your order within 48 hours of receiving it (under normal circumstances) and are often much quicker! During peak periods (i.e. Christmas) your order may take a little longer due to delays or extreme weather conditions.

If I'm not in?

For orders of 1 bag of coffee our boxes are post-box friendly so should be delivered whether or not you're in. For larger parcels, usually the delivery person will leave a card saying it has been returned to the post depot where you can collect it from. Many customers find it easier to have their coffee delivered to their place of work so that there is always someone there to accept it.
