Kynetra Coffee
The famous monsoon-cured AA grade — swelled, pale beans with an unmistakable musty earthiness, low acidity, and full body that is unlike any other Indian coffee.
Monsooned Malabar is one of the world’s most unusual coffees. Raw green beans from Coorg are transported to open-sided warehouses on the Malabar coast between June and September, where the monsoon winds and moisture cause the beans to absorb humidity, swell to nearly twice their original size, and turn pale yellow.
This months-long exposure dramatically alters the cup character: acidity almost completely disappears, the body becomes full and heavy, and a distinctive earthy, woody, slightly musty note develops — a flavour that polarises tasters but is beloved by those who understand what they’re drinking.
The AA grade represents the largest screen size and most consistent swell. Dark-roasted to bring out maximum depth without burning the swelled structure.

Monsooned Malabar — a revelation
I grew up drinking filter coffee and never thought I would try something like this. The woody, low-acid character is unlike anything I had tried. It brews beautifully in a French press.
Monsooned Malabar is unlike anything else in my collection
A coffee friend from Bengaluru sent me a bag of Kynetra Monsooned Malabar. The low acidity and the enormous body are exactly what I was told to expect — but the actual experience in the cup is something else. I pull it as a lungo and it is extraordinary. Ordered two more bags directly and they arrived in Dubai within twelve days.
