- The Malabar India Experience: Organic & Fairtrade Discover this premium organic Fairtrade Indian coffee, a bold and exotic blend sourced from the lush, spice-scented southern coasts of India. The Malabar India selection is a pure, 100% Arabica whole bean masterpiece cultivated by small producers in a mountainous, isolated region of Kerala at 1,500 meters. This highly sought-after origin offers a flavor profile unlike anything found in the Americas or Africa, delivering a heavy, syrupy body and incredibly low acidity. The Monsoon Process & Jungle Biodiversity Beyond its intense character, this coffee represents a profound respect for nature. Protected from sun and rain by a dense canopy of trees, the coffee trees grow deep into the jungle alongside an astonishing variety of flora and fauna. This rich biodiversity protects the exceptional quality of the soil. After being carefully hand-picked, the beans undergo the magic of the “monsooning” process. Exposed to wet monsoon winds on the coast, the beans naturally weather, swell, and change color. This unique curing process intensifies the sweetness and affords the coffee a particular spicy scent that is utterly unparalleled. Traditional Swiss High-Altitude Roasting What truly sets this sustainable coffee apart is our traditional Swiss roasting process. Expertly roasted at 1,000 meters above sea level in La Chaux-de-Fonds, our high-altitude method enhances the natural boldness of the Indian beans. This atmospheric process allows us to roast at lower temperatures, preserving the complex malted sugars and ensuring a perfectly smooth finish without any harshness. Aroma & Flavor: A deeply captivating profile defined by earthy, woody, and malted tasting notes, complemented by dried fruit and an unparalleled hint of spicy pepper. Finish: A thick, syrupy, and exceptionally smooth finish that lingers pleasantly on the palate. Certified Swiss Bio & Fairtrade Coffee Beans Drink your daily cup with complete peace of mind. Every bag of the Malabar India blend is proudly certified Swiss Bio—an elite standard that goes far beyond basic EU and USDA organic requirements—as well as Fairtrade. Grown sustainably without synthetic pesticides, it ensures a pure, natural cup that protects the vibrant biodiversity of the Kerala jungles while guaranteeing equitable wages for local farming communities. Expert Brewing Recommendations Because these Monsooned Malabar beans are famous for their heavy body and lack of acidity, this whole bean coffee is a favorite for those who prefer an intense but stomach-friendly brew: Espresso: Pulls an incredibly thick, dark crema with dominant notes of malt, dark wood, and a hint of spice. French Press: Maximizes the heavy mouthfeel and perfectly highlights the deep, earthy aromatics. Moka Pot: Delivers a strong, traditional European-style coffee with a rich, velvety texture. ☕ At a Glance Product Meaning Named after the historic, spice-rich Malabar Coast of Southern India Composition 100% Arabica Flavor Profile Cocoa, dried fruits, hazelnuts Roast Traditional High-Altitude Swiss Roast Degree of Roast (out of 5) 2 Strength (out of 5) 4 Region Keezhanthoor, Idukki District, State of Kerala, India Process Nature – monsooned Altitude 1500m Producer Manarcadu Social Service Society (Mass) What does Malabar India coffee taste like? Unlike bright and fruity Central American coffees, Malabar India is famous for its bold, earthy, woody, and malted flavor profile. It has a very heavy, syrupy body and is often described as having an exotic, “old world” character. Why is this coffee so low in acidity? The low acidity is a result of the “monsooning” process. By exposing the beans to the humid monsoon winds on the Indian coast, the natural acids are neutralized, creating a cup that is exceptionally smooth and gentle on the stomach. Is this coffee ethically and sustainably grown? Yes. La Semeuse sources Malabar India from premium estates that prioritize traditional harvesting methods and sustainable environmental practices in the Indian highlands.
