We should thank nature.

It not only gives us the air, water and food on which we live. It occasionally does a trick, giving us unexpected surprises and delicacies that can only be tasted at a particular time and place.

● is like this Indian monsoon Malaba coffee.

The story goes back to the 19th century, more than a hundred years ago, when India was a British colony. Coffee produced from India is shipped to England. Before the opening of the Suez Canal, it took a detour from India to Britain through the Cape of good Hope at the southern tip of Africa, across the Indian Ocean and Atlantic Ocean, and experienced a six-month sea voyage. Because of the sea breeze and the moist air on the sea for a long time, the coffee beans have changed from green to yellow and white when they arrived in Britain, and their volume has expanded, which is completely different from the original fresh beans. However, people are surprised to find that the "spoiled" coffee beans have a more unique flavor after roasting-the mellow thickness is higher, but the acidity is lower, and the different flavor is more tasteful than the ordinary Indian coffee.

Of course, in the world a hundred years later, the Suez Canal has long been opened, sea routes have been greatly shortened, more advanced and fast ships have been developed, and with the improvement of packaging technology, coffee beans have rarely suffered damp deterioration on board. But the taste of the classic "wind-stained coffee" is for many coffee drinkers.

So there is a new way to deal with it-monsoon coffee. Indian Malaba monsoon coffee, to be exact.

Because of this unique treatment, ● originated in the Malaba region along the Indian Ocean in the west of India. In the tropical monsoon climate of the Indian mainland, there is a southwest monsoon blowing from the sea every year during the rainy season from June to September. Locally produced coffee beans are specially placed in a special open warehouse to accept the warm and humid sea breeze, and in the process the coffee beans are constantly stirred to ensure uniform acceptance of sea breeze and moisture. The whole treatment lasted almost throughout the rainy season, lasting for 3 to 4 months, and finally the coffee beans changed from green to yellowish white, which looked like "old beans" after being drenched in the rain or aged for a long time, and because they were exposed to moisture for a long time, its volume is also more expanded. Finally, the unprocessed beans are manually selected and re-bagged, and the whole processing process is completed.

● has gone through this process, coffee beans are equivalent to being "pickled" by sea breeze and moist air in the rainy season, the original acidity decreases, while the alcohol thickness increases, and produces a special earthy flavor and dried fruit flavor, sometimes with a unique spice flavor, which is difficult to feel in coffee from any place of origin.

It is said that when Britain transported tea at that time, it was due to the damp fermentation of tea leaves during the long sea transportation, which affected the preference of the British for black tea at that time, and also made the later famous English black tea. The formation of monsoon coffee is similar to that of black tea. However, according to the way of processing, monsoon coffee is more inclined to our Pu'er tea, experiencing artificial "aging", reducing the green astringency and acidity of the coffee and achieving a different mellow taste.

Haha, after saying so much, do you also want to try this monsoon Malaba coffee?
