Dried Fruit, Dark Chocolate, Cedarwood
This is a coffee from Aceh Procince, Sumatra’s most famous & prolific specialty wet-hulled producing area. Naturals are next to impossible to do successfully in Aceh, where swirling, rich humidity is a defining feature of the mountainsides. (The climate is why the wet-hulled process, which is basically a drying shortcut, is the norm to begin with.) Very limited quantities can be made, however, in exactly the right microclimate.
The cherry from this tiny lot was picked at 1800 MASL - a truly astonishing elevation for an area where most of its coffee is picked much lower, typically between 1200-1400 MASL.
The result of the extra effort is a hugely sweet coffee, thick with fruit flavors but perfectly clean. There are endless tropical & stone fruit flavors to appreciate along with a buttery, chocolately creaminess free of any peat moss grit which Sumatra’s wet hulled coffee is synonymous. A true outlier in every way.
