{"product_id":"indian-monsoon-malabar-coffee","title":"Indian Monsoon Malabar Coffee","description":"Most people think of India as a tea nation. Yet for nearly 400 years, India has been crafting some of the world's finest coffees. Today, it ranks fifth globally in Arabica production, with beans grown across the misty highlands of Southern India where altitude, rainfall, and volcanic soil create ideal conditions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe story of Indian Monsoon Malabar is one of tradition meeting geography. Legend tells of a pilgrim, Baba Budan, who brought seven coffee seeds from the Holy Land in the 1600s, planting them near his mountain cave in Karnataka—the birthplace of Indian coffee. What followed was centuries of refinement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut what makes Monsoon Malabar truly distinctive is its unique processing. Historically, Indian coffee shipped to Europe on long voyages underwent a natural transformation—the sea air and moisture changed the beans from bright green to pale gold, muting the acidity and creating an entirely new flavour profile. Rather than leave this to chance, Indian producers began deliberately replicating this process on land.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor 12 to 16 weeks, premium Arabica beans are exposed to the moisture-laden winds of the Arabian Sea monsoon in specially designed warehouses. The beans are regularly raked and re-bagged, slowly absorbing moisture until they swell to nearly twice their original size. What emerges is a coffee of remarkable character—pale gold to light brown in colour, with tasting notes of spice, earth, smoke, tobacco, fig and plum.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's a coffee that rewards patience and speaks of place.","brand":"D R WAKEFIELD","offers":[{"title":"250g \/ Beans","offer_id":59160866423132,"sku":"018COF-Coffee-Size-250g-Options-Beans","price":13.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Ground For Cafetiere","offer_id":59160866455900,"sku":"018COF-Coffee-Size-250g-Options-Ground-For-Cafetiere","price":13.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Ground For Espresso","offer_id":59160866488668,"sku":"018COF-Coffee-Size-250g-Options-Ground-For-Espresso","price":13.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g \/ Ground For Filter","offer_id":59160866521436,"sku":"018COF-Coffee-Size-250g-Options-Ground-For-Filter","price":13.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g \/ Beans","offer_id":59160866554204,"sku":"018COF-Coffee-Size-500g-Options-Beans","price":23.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g \/ Ground For Cafetiere","offer_id":59160866586972,"sku":"018COF-Coffee-Size-500g-Options-Ground-For-Cafetiere","price":23.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g \/ Ground For Espresso","offer_id":59160866619740,"sku":"018COF-Coffee-Size-500g-Options-Ground-For-Espresso","price":23.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g \/ Ground For Filter","offer_id":59160866652508,"sku":"018COF-Coffee-Size-500g-Options-Ground-For-Filter","price":23.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Beans","offer_id":59160866685276,"sku":"018COF-Coffee-Size-1kg-Options-Beans","price":42.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Ground For Cafetiere","offer_id":59160866718044,"sku":"018COF-Coffee-Size-1kg-Options-Ground-For-Cafetiere","price":42.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Ground For Espresso","offer_id":59160866750812,"sku":"018COF-Coffee-Size-1kg-Options-Ground-For-Espresso","price":42.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg \/ Ground For Filter","offer_id":59160866783580,"sku":"018COF-Coffee-Size-1kg-Options-Ground-For-Filter","price":42.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0277\/7692\/files\/Indian_Monsoon_Malabar_Coffee.jpg?v=1790076625","url":"https:\/\/imperialteas.co.uk\/products\/indian-monsoon-malabar-coffee","provider":"Imperial Teas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
