I'm so glad I came across this thread! I just looked up monsooned beans and really want to try them now. I'm going to India next month for work so I'll see what I can find to bring back. ๐ค

This is common in the southwest. Kerala, Goa. The Malibar coast.
In my experience this coffee is either loved or hatred. Low acid, smooth, silky, earthy... Very odd compared to. most others (also good!).
But I hope you enjoy it!
Sounds very pleasant.
That sounds amazing! I struggle with the acidity. And I just told nostr:nprofile1qqszj3vzr05hzts4g2nsvt0t6adx5f3r03dux08cwl8zcwh5d4qzd0cpzfmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ucpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduw9twnl (who likes the higher acidity) and he goes "Oh, that sounds terrible!" ๐ Guess I'm not bringing any back from India for him... ๐ฌ
Yes, it is definitely the smooth and mellow type of sip. But the other thing that people sometimes have a hard time with is the level of earthiness. But that has quite grown on me. (Like moss lol) Usually my first couple of sips after I've roasted a bunch are kind of an interesting experience, it very quickly becomes addictive.
