Coffee Friend Ground specialty coffee Indonesia Sumatra
Description
The aroma of red wine fills the air and is soon complemented by the incredibly fragrant notes of cinnamon, caramel and burnt sugar. Reminds you of mulled wine, doesn't it?Flying over the highlands of Gayo, a region located in the island of Sumatra, one can see a stretch of extraordinary coffee plants below, surrounded by gorgeous landscapes and nurtured by a unique island climate. The local farmers pick the cherries growing on these luscious plants, then process them using a local processing method called Giling Basah. Once fermented and washed, beans aren't dried fully: instead, while still damp (with a moisture content of around 25–30%), they're hulled using special machines and only then allowed to reach the end of the drying process. This results in coffees that are less acidic, yet generally more intense—and this is the exact flavour profile Indonesian varieties are nowadays known for.
