Tonight I had some Monsooned Malabar Coehlo's Gold.
This is a very unique coffee that according to the reviews is a "love it" or "hate it" kind of thing. I love it. I think it's mostly used in blends for espresso. I don't have an espresso machine (yet) but have been wanting to try it. The processing of these beans is pretty unique. After picking, the beans are layed out in open sided warehouses until and through the Monsoon season in India, exposing them to the monsoon wind and moisture. The whole process can take over a year. The resulting bean is pretty large, light in weight and a yellowish color instead of the usual green.
I roasted them to Full City and let them rest for several days before brewing in a drip machine. The flavor is very earthy and musty. Very different but I like it.
