Indian Monsooned Malabar

Walk into the house, into the closet, open the box and inhale deeply the distinct smell of old books in an old box in an old lady's closet. That's what Indian Monsooned Malabar tastes like. https://www.theroasterie.com/coffee/Special-Offering:--Indian-Monsooned-Malabar-Coffee/642/26/1 CHAD Edited by ginny on 01/27/2008 6:54 AM

I'm just beginning to toy with blends... Any suggestions as to what may work with the MM? I like old books. Respect the bean.

I agree with Dan though the MM makes a nice addition to an espresso blend on occasion. Wouldn't go more than 20% on it though and even that may be too much.

1/2 Pounder Posts: 218 Joined: April 20, 2009	So I went hunting for any old threads/posts about Indian Monsooned Malabar. Thus, I resurrected this thread. I am trying to decide how/from whom to order this stuff. I have a dear friend who has bought nothing but MM from a local cafe/roastery for like 6 years straight. It is the only thing he drinks -- every day, for 6 years. So, I want to surprise him. Thought 1. The crops and quality for the 6 years must have variation and some must have been better than others. Thus, what I order and where and how old matters, but not much. Thought 2. Some of the notes I've read imply that there is very little good MM out there, and plenty of baggy, old lady's books being pawned as MM <tips bookmark to CHAD -- see earlier posts>. So, who has a thought or two on where to order and how to guess about what's good and not good with MM. All of it is, by definition, old. Can there be a "season" or "current crop" with MM? CBC and others offer it. All the descriptions seem to focus on the stories and not on the cupping notes.

I taste sweet straw - like if you could taste that wonderful sweet smell of wet hay right after a Spring rain. There is a 'baggy' taste but in a good way - similar to that wet straw taste. There is also a nutty flavor-maybe Macadamia nuts? Maybe a hint of coco floating around too. If you like nibbling on the end of a piece of hay then you will probably enjoy Coffee Bean Corral's Malabar. I like it so much that if you buy it and hate it - I will buy the remainder from you..how's tat for a no risk trial ;)

He did mention that they keep it in stock for their 'liquid amber' blend, and they might be willing to sell some if you emailed them.
