ABOUT THIS COFFEE AND PRODUCER
This coffee comes from the Aceh Province of Sumatra, Indonesia’s most famous coffee growing region. While most coffees from this province are from a mixture of smallholder farmers, Central Sumatera Coffee (CSC) operates its own 100-hectare farm and processing plant. This means they have complete control over the farming, picking, and processing of each coffee.
Most coffee from Sumatra is wet-hulled, but for this lot, CSC has decided to also add yeast inoculation and co-fermentation as extra processing steps. First, post-harvest, cherries are held for 16 hours inside nylon bags to allow them to soften. Then, the cherries are de-pulped and moved to fermentation tanks where yeast cultures and powdered jasmine flowers are added. After this, the coffee is patio-dried until it reaches a moisture level of 35%. Next, the cherries are wet-hulled and then the coffee is dried until it reaches a moisture level of 11-12%. Finally, the coffee is mechanically milled, hand sorted, and bagged.
WHY WE SELECTED THIS COFFEE
We’re excited to share something a little different—our latest release is an Indonesian coffee, a rarity for us and a truly unique experience in the cup.
This lot underwent an uncommon fermentation using yeast and jasmine flowers, and somehow it all comes together in a beautifully balanced way. Expect lower aciditybut still great sweetness, with a big lift in tea-like and floral sensations that redefine what you might expect from this origin.
It drinks closer to an earthy, floral tea than a traditional cup of coffee—delicate yet expressive. The florals intertwine with the wet-hulled process to bring out a distinct cedar note that’s both clean and incredibly fun.
A must-try for anyone looking to explore something new.
