Golden Acres has become a staple in our cafes. The always chocolatey profile, body and sweetness give it depth for a great tasting shot of espresso or pairing with your favorite milk. We source coffee seasonally so we continually have the freshest lots available. This season is a blend of Colombia and India Monsoon Malabar AA. The combination has a natural sweetness of chocolate and caramel taste with a hint of tropical to balance it out.

This profile is made up of the gathering of lots from areas located within the rural area of the indigenous reservation - villages such as The Paramo, Aponte, and La Cueva. Some of the coffee growers that make up the Blend are José Luis Álvarez, Israel Janamejoy, Hugo Agreda, Segundo Jamioy, Carmen Jansasoy, Fredy Adarme, and Tulio Adarme. The varieties that coffee growers handle are still the traditional ones, such as Caturra and Colombia.

Monsoon Malabar AA

The origination of Indian Monsoon Malabar coffee dates back to the era when wooden ships loaded with raw coffee beans would take up to 6 months to travel from India to Europe, sailing around the Cape of Good Hope. During the months that the coffee beans were transported at sea, the humidity and ocean winds combined to cause the coffee to change from its fresh green color to a more aged, pale yellow hue. Upon their arrival in Europe, the coffee beans were found to have a unique mellowness - soft and smooth tasting throughout the cup, so that the coffee became an instant hit with Europeans, paving the way for the birth of a new coffee type. Today these conditions are replicated in warehouses during the Indian monsoon season so that the coffee beans, exposed to constant humid conditions, undergo the same characteristic changes in size, texture, appearance and in the cup.
