India Malabar 'Monsooned Voyage' Coffee

Really liked this due to it being low acidity, was having health issues with high acidity coffees and was searching for a low acidic like this one. Will continue to drink coffee has I have done for many years, especially with all the health benefits there are of consuming coffee.

Few people are aware of 'monsooned' coffee, and even fewer have visited the fearsome Malabar Coast of India. Enjoy this superior coffee; there is nothing like it in the world.

The coffee was a gift to a special friend who had tasted this coffee in the past and found it to be smooth and strong. I found this one and hoped that it would match his memory of that earlier coffee. He found it to be exactly how he remembered it. My taste of it was also smooth and strong with low acidity. Will purchase more. There was an issue with the delivery - FedEx did not pick up the order quick enough. CoffeeAM did refund the expedited shipping costs and will take the matter up with FedEx.

This was absolutely fabulous, nice and strong.

With a creamy richness, low acidity and an earthy flavor this is my favorite bean. I use this to produce artisanal biscotti for my customers.

I have been in love with Indian Monsooned Malabar coffee for the last 15 years. Very hard to find, and under appreciated. You will love this coffee. And the price is phenomenal!

I typically like a coffee that is full bodied but not acidic. This one hits the spot perfectly. This variety and Indian My Sore are my favorites.

I love this coffee. It's always on my reorder list.

I gave 4 stars, but really this coffee will have two groups of people with no one on the fence. That would be a 2-3 star group and a five+ star group. So be sure before you order that the coffee that your palate appreciates: * strength - no mistake, this IS coffee and not some other mellow look-alike * "earth tones" = strength of mud to some but!: = sensory kick with lingering, neutral grind taste (like a delicious coffee mouthwash) * acidity is swamped by different tastes caused by post-harvest treatment in the elements * medium roast might fool you with these beans to think it was taken further - it wasn't The exposure to the elements of this coffee actually starts a subset of changes before roast which are somewhat realated to roasting with a hint of fermentation thrown in. Don't be scared by the word fermentation, some of the costliest coffees undergo selective fermentation to get their distinct flavors and this is controlled. But it moves the final tones completely and I believe give the medium roast some characteristics normally found by roasting slightly longer. Hidden in this coffee is a sweetness caused by a somewhat greater expression of smaller sugars before roast (from the fermentation in the monsooning), though a bitter tone develops at the same time. So it is not really a 'bitter' coffee, but rather a coffee that comes across with stong tones across the board. If you are bitter intolerant, I doubt you'll like it, though. I think it would be fun to have two fresh cups of coffee - this and a mild Kona side by side, start with the Kona and then zing yourself with this one midway to really appreciate the differences in coffees. I bet people that love the taste of beer would enjoy this coffee but that is just some idle mulling. I don't particularly go for such enhanced tones, but I highly recommend you try it once to see since in my case it had me taste just how diverse coffees can be. Perhaps on a dreary London morning when the fish and chips are blah, this would be just the cup to kick off a boring day.

I was a bit disappointed with the medium to weak flavor, but then I like strong coffee a lot. Some of my friends did like it just because of its not being as strong.

great smooth cup of coffee and the low acidity was a plus.

This was the most unusual - and pleasurable - experience I've ever had with coffee. The flavor is rich, almost earthy, smooth and delicious. The grounds are, in fact, somewhat moist and it brews beautifully. I've already recommended it to all my coffee-loving friends and acquaintances, and encourage everyone to try at least order of this unique, lovely beverage.

As low-acid coffees go, this one is a notch above, with better balance, and smooth without sacrificing flavor. Did not find this coffee bitter or harsh.

I have tried almost every coffe you have and this one is going to the top of my list. Love the aroma and the aftertaste of the coffee. Perfect.

I was impressed with easy ordering and fast shipping. Unfortunately, the black, oily beans I received smelled and looked like something you'd buy at Starburnt. I purchase India Monsooned locally each week from a fresh roaster in the city. I have also enjoyed it from another fresh roaster in Boston. My local shop was out so decided to try somewhere else. Normally, the smell of the beans make my mouth water when I open the bag and they are a beautiful toasty brown color and dry. This product, has a horribly bitter and over roasted smell and taste. I use a French Press and tried grinding the beans even more coarsely but to no avail. The unique earthy flavor that I love was replaced with a sour, bitter taste. Extreme bummer.

This coffee has a little bit more of a stronger flavor than most medium roasts but it is smooth and great tasting. Probably my 2n or 3rd favorite.

It is quite acetic, though drinkable. An interesting flavor, but I prefer a more mellow taste.

I enjoyed it, and yet it was missing something. I can't help but wonder if a little more roast on the beans might develop the flavors more. Nice fruitiness, just wish it was more.

Harsh........just don't like it, period.

I absolutely love this coffee. I drink it practically every day. It has low acidity, and CoffeeAM roasts it just right so the full body flavor of the bean is brought out. The source and the roast obviously make this coffee. I have had other monsooned malabar coffees, but they just haven't matched up to this company's product.

Indian Malabar was the feature "drip" coffee in the cafe I used to own. I still use it at home to this day. If you are looking for a bean just on the dark side of medium (my favorite) you will not find a better coffee
