Continuing my series on the varied coffee varieties you can experience from around the world, this week we have Indian Monsooned Malabar - this is an acquired taste but also a popular coffee - I sell lots of this both as green coffee and roasted. To learn a bit more about it we need to look at the green Coffee beans
"But those beans are not green" I hear you cry - and you are quite right, if we look at some of my previous posts
https://steemit.com/coffee/@c0ff33a/coffee-from-around-the-world-cuban-serrano-levado-arabica-coffee
Then the green coffee beans pictured are actually green. So what is different with these? The hint is in the name - Monsoon - these beans are stored in a damp environment so they swell and soak up new and interesting flavours - over time during this process they go from green to this more tan colour.
So from one of my coffee brokers we can learn the full story of this coffee - it gives a unique flavour to the coffee that does not suit every pallet.
And now we have the roasted beans, they don't actually look too different now from other roasted coffee beans - although I can see a big difference when I release the roast for cooling. Normally the roasted coffee is very even colour - all the beans the same tone - with Monsoon Malabar it has subtle differences - it is not so easy to tell in the picture above but when 5kg is in a cooling tray it is quite obvious - some beans are light and some darker. I put this down to the moisture they have soaked up - some have more so take longer to roast and end up lighter - others a little more so they roast quicker and end up darker.
So let's pop some ground up into the Aeropress and give them a try.
This is a few days old roast, so the grounds are still bubbling as the coffee is giving off gasses released by roasting.
Using the inverted brewing method for Aeropress - I can allow the coffee to infuse with the water for longer.
A quick tip for the aero press - if you add the filter paper to the cap, pour a little hot water in after to help hold it into the cap (for the inverse brewing method) and also to freshen and blanche the filter paper.
And it's another fine brew, I prefer to drink my brewed speciality coffees black like this to enjoy all the flavours - it also helps me ensure each roast tastes as similar as it can to the previous roast of the same coffee - consistency is very important in coffee and when you roast you have to do the same roast style to the coffee variety you are brewing every time you roast.
And it tastes wonderful, as I would expect. Enjoying the cup next to @bridget.art fine work Hidewaway.

I am so late to the party -always!!
I am not a coffee snob, well, I am, but not the different kinds! I love Indian coffee and Columbian equally.
I will try anything at least once, twice if I am not sure. Thank you for the wonderful information you serve us with each post!

Thanks for dropping by and leaving a comment, it's always worth trying something different - I have not ever found a coffee I didn't like - of course it makes a difference how fresh from roasting it is, how darkly it was roasted and how you brew it.

Thanks for taking a look, some of the coffee sacks can be a work of art in their own right - they make some quite stunning ones - I think next week will be a Costa Rican sack that is quite stunning.

You are very right my friend, I have many Indian coffee's in my stock, this one sells very well. But I have others, they are amazing coffees to taste - but don't have the reputation and so are harder to sell - sometimes people will just buy based on what they are told. I have an Indian Mysore right now that is outstanding - wonderful flavour with a buttery aftertaste - sweet and smooth. But it is a slow seller - mysore does not have a recognisable name so people are missing out. More for me to enjoy I suppose 😉

Exactly my friend ! Brand name and reference are the key factors in consumption of coffee ! We can find lots of local coffee better than the branded but they are not the market leader.

Very good question, Monsoon Malabar is indeed very different in taste to other coffees. The way they process it develops a hint of spice, the smoke of a wood fire, a little tobacco and even a kind of earthy taste (I know few people eat mud, but in my mind the taste is akin to eating a raw mushroom unwashed - sometimes a little of the earth it grew in stays with it) it's an acquired taste - if I gave 5 different people a cup of Monsoon Malabar to try 3 would not like it - but the two people that do love it for life and this is why I sell so much - it has a niche and unique following - much like Steemit!

Cool! Thanks for the in depth description it sounds really interesting. I probably would be one of the two that would like it as I appreciate complex and different flavours. Being able to describe them is the challenge, but it seems you have done your homework.

Always so quick with your replies to my posts @maruharraca - I'm starting to think you are waiting for my next one! Thank you for always giving me support, I do truly appreciate it. Monsoon Malabar is quite special, it is not to everyones taste and in England we might describe it as "The marmite of coffee" (you know, people either like Marmite or hate it) - the flavours are unique but can include spices, smoke, earthy notes and hints of Tobacco.

Yes! You are right! I am always checking on you for a new post!
Omg! I remember my mother use to use Marmite when cooking with meat, to give it an extra flavors! I have to tell you that I have to google Marmite first because I didn’t remember what you were talking about... and them all those memories came to my head like a rainfall!
About this coffee I am not sure if I will like it! I should give it a try!
Thank you me dear friend I really enjoy your post!
Now waiting on you for another good post ost of yours!
I wish you have a great day!

Marmite - it's exactly the way Monsoon Malabar is - although it does not taste like Marmite so don't worry about that! My idea was the tastes in Monsoon Malabar are special - and only certain people with like them - if you did not like Marmite you might like Monsoon Malabar because they do not taste the same - but both have unique flavours that only suit certain people. Thank you for your kind words about my posts, I'm trying my best to improve them every post - making it interesting and varied and of course unique to me.

Thank you, I did some research and Morocco coffee is mostly Cafe Noir (Espresso - finely ground coffee around 10g to 1floz of 90g water pushed through under pressure) or Nous Nous ( the same espresso with the equivalent volume of hot milk) but please correct me if I am wrong.
