We know how popular and polarising a wet-hulled Sumatra can be, but we still love them for their unique flavour profile. This coffee fits the bill perfectly with the traditional earthy chocolate and spice notes with some nuanced raspberry and sweet jam fruit notes with surprising clarity!

NOTE: We aim to despatch all orders placed before 8am the very same day. Orders received on Fridays after 8am will be despatched the following Monday.

Roast

Medium/Dark

Medium/Dark - Roasted to midway between 1st and 2nd crack, we wanted to see more sugar browning and caramel without losing all of the fruit character.

Process

Wet-Hulled (Semi-washed/Giling Basah)

Wet-Hulled (Semi-washed/Giling Basah) - Usually the smallholder farmers process the coffee themselves and then deliver to a mill to be graded and bagged. Unusually, this lot is all processed by one central mill, which accounts for the unusual uniformity and clarity in the cup!

In The Cup

Earthy Chocolate, Raspberry, Sweet Jam

Chocolate, clove, and cinnamon. Tamarind and pineapple/lime acidity, sugar browning flavours of caramel and brown rice syrup.

Grown: Atu Lintang, Aceh

Altitude: 1,300m to 1,500m

Varietals: Tim Tim

Producers: About 600 Smallholder farmers in the locality

Drying: Dried for 8-12 hours down to 40% moisture before being hulled and dried again down to 11-12% over 4-5 days before being sorted and graded again.

This is a farmer group who we bought from for the first time this year which is made up of 600 farmers in the Atu Lintang district who contribute to this lot. As well as growing coffee the farmers also grow vegetables and fruits to eat or sell at local markets.

Usually there are two harvests a year with coffee being picked in the main harvest from October - December and then again from March - May as part of the fly crop.
