Coffee - PEACOCK - Whole Bean Medium Roast Robusta Coffee Imported from India (Monsoon Malabar)

Monsoon Malabar:

What makes this process yield a different flavor profile than the others:

The Monsoon Malabar process is a unique method used primarily for robusta beans in India, which involves exposing the beans to monsoon winds and moisture to create distinct flavor characteristics. Here’s how the process works:

*Harvesting: Ripe robusta cherries are hand-picked, ensuring that only the best quality beans are selected.

*Drying: The harvested cherries are initially dried in the sun for a few days to reduce moisture content. This helps prepare them for the subsequent monsoon exposure.

*Storage: The dried beans are then stored in open warehouses during the monsoon season, typically from June to September. This allows the beans to absorb moisture from the humid air and the rain.

*Moisture Exposure: During the monsoon, the beans are regularly exposed to the elements, which causes them to swell and lose some of their acidity. This process can last for several weeks, allowing the beans to develop unique flavor profiles.

*Drying Again: After the monsoon period, the beans are dried again to remove excess moisture, bringing them back to the ideal moisture content of around 11-12%.

*Hulling: Once dried, the outer parchment layer is removed.

The Monsoon Malabar process imparts a distinctive flavor to the beans, often characterized by earthy, mellow tones with a smooth body and reduced acidity, making them quite unique among robusta coffees. If you love the wind like we do, then this coffee will create an uplifting feeling in each sip. 

Intensity: [██████████] 10/10

Robusta coffee beans naturally contain double the caffeine levels in comparison to arabica beans.

Its always a strong brew.

• High Antioxidant Content: Contains up to 2-3 times more antioxidant compounds, specifically chlorogenic acids, than Arabica, which fight oxidative stress, reduce inflammation, and may reduce cancer risks.
• Strong Cognitive Boost: The higher caffeine content provides an intense, immediate energy boost, improving alertness, memory, and cognitive performance.
• Better Digestive Tolerance: Generally lower in acidity, which can be beneficial for reducing digestive issues or acid reflux compared to other coffee types.
• Weight Management & Metabolism: Caffeine acts as a metabolism booster, helping to break down body fat and suppress appetite when consumed as part of a healthy diet.
• Liver & Cardiovascular Protection: Regular, moderate consumption is associated with a reduced risk of liver diseases (like cirrhosis and cancer) and supports cardiovascular health.
• Improved Physical Performance: Boosts physical endurance and reduces perceived exertion during exercise.
• Mental Well-being: Stimulates neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin, potentially reducing the risk of depression and improving mood

Store in a cool, dark place

Heat and light break down coffee oils. Keep beans in a cupboard or pantry at room temperature, far from the stovetop, oven, or sunlight.

Avoid moisture

Coffee beans are porous and absorb surrounding moisture, which can ruin flavor. Never store coffee in the refrigerator or freezer for daily use, as condensation occurs when opening the container.

Buy smart & keep whole

Buy in small quantities (enough for 2–4 weeks) to ensure maximum freshness. Keep beans whole and grind only what you need, just before brewing, to retain aroma and flavor.

Minimize handling

Every time you open the bag, you introduce oxygen. Re-seal the bag promptly after each use to protect the remaining beans.

A little care goes a long way in keeping your Peep’l coffee bold and delicious ✨
