Monsooned Malabar

[caffe biscotto]

Although I could drink five pounds within a reasonable period of time, this will be for some recipes/experiments. I want to try it in some unique chocolate moulds too, all top secret stuff, hee hee.

Yeah old Tophers quote can be confusing. I think Starsky (or Hutch) was probably refering to a terrible cup of coffee they were drinking at a donut shop somewhere in Bay City, rather than the stack of greens at the local roaster they were observing while shooting at bad guys!

Some coffees can be aged- yes the cup will change but it will not make the cup a "bad cup" if the coffee has been aged correctly. But as mentionaed earlier not ALL coffee can be aged succesfully. I think the Wiki "Some coffee purists consider Monsooned Malabar to not be a proper coffee blend, as it has been spoilt" is probably not the most eleqant way of phrasing it... my guess is they wanted to say that the aging changes the cupping quality of the Malabar- so some consumers of that coffee prefer new crop, rather than aged....

...thats my guess anyway

I roasted the Malabar and loved it! How does the Mysore compare to the Malabar?

What characterises Monsoon Malabar coffee? Ive heard it is left out in tropical weather for a period to soak up the rain but what does that doo to the bean?
