Nespresso invites you to experience a story of coffee, wind and pleasure. The Monsoon Malabar Limited Edition Grand Cru takes you to an unforgettable journey to discover its exclusive woody and spicy aromas, tinged with subtle salty notes.
The story of this special Limited Edition began in the 18th century in Southern India, where the finest Arabica beans were loaded onto wooden-hulled sailing ships bound for Europe. The peculiar effect of the humidity and tropical sea winds encountered on the long trip caused the beans to swell and age, transforming them in a truly unique way.
This gave the coffee beans their unique aroma and a very special mellow texture.
With the arrival of modern steamships, the opening of the Suez Canal and the subsequent shortening of the navigation routes, the same conditions that made this coffee legendary had to be recreated in order to keep its unique flavour unaltered.
Through a special process called “monsooning”, the selected coffee beans are exposed to the tropical monsoon winds in well-ventilated warehouses close to the sea on the Indian Malabar coast for a period of 2 to 3 months, absorbing the salty moisture and adopting their characteristic golden colour. Nespresso follows all stages of this process with meticulous care to bring you coffee at its best.
