A smooth, low-acidity coffee from India's Malabar coast, roasted to order in Leeds. For anyone who finds bright coffees too sharp.

These Monsoon Malabar coffee beans are the highest grade (AA) Arabica coffee from India and have a distinctive spicy flavour. They are usually roasted a little darker to intensify the flavours.

What is Monsoon Malabar Coffee?

These Monsooned Malabar coffee beans are processed in a very unique way.

The process starts with a bean that has been dry-processed in the normal way. It is then allowed to mature by exposing it to the moisture-laden monsoon winds that occur in the late summer.

As a result the raw bean swells to double its original size and turns to a golden colour.

Following the monsoon season, the coffee beans are transferred to a drier region where they lose some of their moisture before being bagged, graded and shipped out.

This process results in the distinctive aroma and flavour with much lower acidity due to the monsooning process.

How to brew it

Perfect as an espresso, but also works well in a bean-to-cup machine due to the darker roast and higher solubility. We also find this coffee is delicious brewed in a cafetiere. For best results, this might need a slightly finer grind than your typical washed process coffee.

Flavours: Low acidity, full body with strong earthy and spicy notes and aromas of dark chocolate and Cinnamon. This coffee, although darker roasted, appears quite light in colour and delivers a very smooth cup with very little acidity.

Available in 200g, 450g, 1kg or 2x1kg resealable and recyclable bags.

Great coffee and pebble and pine have nailed it

The green coffee beans were excellent once I had roasted them, Especially enjoy the monsoon malabar variety and the green ones allow me to be able to do a darker roast
Also the grand tour of coffee subscription sends a different coffee each month, now on the 5th month and not yet had one variety i have not liked

Great Dark Roast

Overall, the descriptions that this site gives each of their coffees is really accurate (if I'm going off of the four that I've tried so far). This is my favorite of the four. It's quite a dark roast, so the dominant taste is the roast, not the coffee. It produces tons of crema. Once I got the dose right, this made a super nice balanced shot of espresso with a rich full body, just like it says. I think a super small amount of salt in the shot really complemented it well if you're into that. Note that you'll definitely want to use some water drops or spray when grinding though, because this is an extremely static prone coffee.

Great taste

Lovely beans makes a fantastic coffee best to leave sitting in airtight container for a week before using
I tried a coffee on day 1 off delivery but it was too fresh and all crema 100% better a week later 👍

Monsoon Malabar is a classic dark roast coffee

Monsoon Malabar is a classic dark roast coffee. I have used it in the past to make filter coffee. Now that I use a burr grinder on all coffee beans I decided to try it again; the result was the same. It makes an excellent cup of coffee but lacks the complexity and range of tastes of dark roasted Columbian or Sumatran.

Great service

Pebble & Pine are a great company to deal with.
Super easy to set up my monthly subscription, which I think is great value.
My choice of bean at the moment is the Monsoon Malabar, which is absolutely delicious.
If you’re thinking about joining P&P, do it you won’t be disappointed.
