Monsooned Coffee: This coffee is named after its unique processing method. Historically, in the 19th century, coffee from Southern India traveled for six months on wooden ships around Africa to Europe, where humidity and tropical winds altered the beans' color and characteristics during the voyage. Today, this effect is mimicked by exposing beans to Monsoon winds in ventilated warehouses from June to September, resulting in the distinctive yellow-hued "monsooned" beans with a unique flavor.
