August 2025: Indian Monsoon Malabar

Country: India
Method: Monsoon-aged
Altitude: 950m
Tasting Notes: Dark Chocolate, Tobacco, Spice, Malt

This is a very unique, monsoon aged Indian coffee that has an immense flavour profile – rich and complex with notes of mixed spice, malt, and tobacco.

The origins of the Indian monsoon coffee can be traced back to the historical trade routes between India and Europe in the 18th century, where coffee beans were transported in wooden ships, taking several months to reach their European destinations.

During this journey, the beans were exposed to the moist, humid monsoon winds as they traversed the Indian Ocean. This natural aging process altered the physical and chemical properties of the beans, resulting in a unique flavour profile that was highly prized by European consumers.

These days, this distinctive ageing process is meticulously replicated in India to produce monsoon-aged coffee. The harvested AA beans (‘AA’ is just a grade based on screen size, a.k.a the diameter of the coffee bean) are stored in open warehouses along the Malabar Coast during the monsoon months, where they absorb moisture from the humid air. The beans swell and change colour, taking on a rich, mellow taste with low acidity and a heavy body.

Here at Iron & Fire, we are big fans of this distinct coffee due to its unique character. We’ve roasted it to a medium profile that brings out the rich, spiced, smokey notes. In the cup, expect it to feature cinnamon, nutmeg, dark chocolate, tobacco and malt – a truly complex flavour profile.

We enjoy this best when brewed as an espresso, although it’s super versatile and makes a good coffee from a variety of brew methods. Great through milk and black, too.
