For being a coffee with a non western taste, I really like this one. Some might not like it as a single origin, but would be great in a blend or espresso as it is special, but not super funky like a Vietnamese coffee (would not recommend that one.) Good one for something different, but not too different.

Monsooned Malabar has been one of my favorite coffees for years. Coffee Bean Corral has great prices, and the beans are among the best. I roast it both light and a full city. It does have a taste that some might call funky. It is the only coffee that my adult daughter drinks with no milk/cream. Very low acidity/bitterness compared to all other coffees.

My favorite coffee for blends. Add 20% (roasted about 20-30 seconds into 2nd crack) to any blend and you get an earthy, sweet bass note. BEAUTIFUL. I never drink as a SO. Parliament said we gotta have that funk, but maybe not all at once!

Roasted up to start of 2nd crack. Tried it 1 day and 7 days post roast. I was a sceptic but resting was necessary to bring out the true flavor profile. Bold earthy, sweet and full flavor. The bean quality was very good which always helps developing a good roast. Coffee also works well as a cold brew and has the body to stand up to a creamer.

Roasted it to a nice middle City+, making sure to keep the temperature nice and low for the browning phase. The result is an earthy experience that feels wholly separate from something like a Sumatran. The best I can describe it is "petrichor". This coffee tastes like rain on stone smells. Interestingly, it got a little sweeter after sitting for a week, and gained the subtle undertone of burnt Carmel. I don't think it would necessarily be a flavor everyone would appreciate, but I absolutely love it.

Absolutely amazing I loved the smooth roast profile and the end flavor profile was amazing. 10-10 would recommend for a daily drinker

I roasted just up to 2nd crack such that after 7 days there were just a few specks of oil that surfaced on some of the beans. That's typically my favorite roast for the espresso that I brew. As per description and some reviews, the espresso had a tea-like spicy taste. There's all kinds of teas and tea tastes, but I'd say maybe something akin to a Ceylon black tea like in Earl Grey or English Breakfast Tea. I didn't hate it, but I would not buy again. I prefer a more traditional Italian style espresso - a little bitter, not too bright but smooth and more of a rich chocolaty mouth feel.

This is a very unique tasting coffee that has a different taste than any other coffee I have roasted. Others have noted that there is almost a spicy hint and I would also agree. The beans seem to take longer to roast but there is something unique about the monsoon rains washing them. If you want a different tasting coffee, this is worth trying. I find it makes a great addition to my coffee portfolio of favorites to keep.

From the description on the website for this coffee, I was expecting something fabulous. My husband and I didn’t think that it was that great. It tasted like coffee we bought at the grocery store

Bold flavored coffee with a very mild hint of spice. I blend a Ethiopian pea berry with this to tone it down and the combination is really tasty.

I love these Indian Monsooned Malabar AA beans. Beans cam quickly and in great condition. Thanks Coffee Bean Corral!
I roasted the beans to city+. Smooth flavor with a hint of chocolate, spicy earth tones.

Not only is the coffee legit, but I’m very impressed with the service. Coffee came on time, very well packaged, and great quality. This is the first time ordering here, and I will definitely order from here more!

Incredibly underwhelmed with these beans. Tastes like a cup of tea, not coffee. Indian Mysore wasn't any better. India just doesn't have what it takes.

I just love these monsoon processed beans. At first I wasn't sure but the more I drank them the more I liked the taste. I like them so much. Ow I buy 5 lbs at a time!

I do love this one. Not for a daily drink, but for an afternoon pick me up or to share with friends looking for an unusual cup.

Surprise to see that this bean has large bean size and roast up quite evenly. I roast it in a sift over gas stove to barely finished first crack. Rested the bean for the few days before drinking. Rich and strong body with earthly mouthfeel. Very unique bean and great to have a chance to try it out!

Definitely a unique experience for coffee. Not like any other coffee I have experienced. Very good as a dark roast.

I have tried several methods, but cannot get an even roast on this coffee. The brewed cup may be like tea, as described. I don't like it.

This coffee is an absolute must in my shop and it doesn't stay on the shelf in our local market for more than a day. It has a very...unique...flavor that, oddly enough, I don't care for, but I seriously have such a large customer base that I certainly couldn't ever NOT carry it.

As the great Russ Denz used to say "if there is no Monsooned Malabar in your espresso, there certainly should be". MM works well as espresso with some Ethipians I have and with a Peruvian as well. Smooth and funky, but nice balance. Bare;u into 2nd crack works for me.
