Monsooned Malabar is a process in which the pre-dried coffee beans are deposited in a 10-15 cm thick layer of bricks or concrete on a well-ventilated warehouse floor and left for 3 to 4 months to the monsoon rains and winds. During this period, the beans are raked, mixed and placed in bags to wait at regular intervals. The beans swell by about two times, change colour and lose their initial acidity, resulting in a flavour profile with a practically neutral pH. The bright colour, shape and size of the beans, as well as their aroma and flavour, are the result of this treatment. The coffee variety has a high quality AA label.
