Sumatra: Wet Process Ribang Gayo
Sumatra: Wet Process Ribang Gayo
This lot is made up of small-holder coffees in the Pantan Musara region of Aceh, who belong to a coffee cooperative called "Ribang Gayo Musara Cooperative". One unique aspect of this particular Sumatran coffee coop, is that they focus on processes like fully washed, natural (dry process), and honey, in addition to the traditional wet-hulled that you mostly find from Sumatra. There's a greater financial return on these process methods, at least for the time being. They've refined their technique, each lot of coffee undergoing extensive hand sorting in order to prepare to grade 1 standards. The coop has also built large drying domes with both raised beds and patio space to dry their coffee. This is a fully washed, wet process coffee, meaning the fruit is removed from the green coffee, which then undergoes full wet fermentation to remove all of the remaining fruit mucilage before laying to dry on raised beds for about a week. When done well, you're left with a much cleaner coffee than the traditional wet-hulled Sumatra's that are known for their rustic cup characteristics. This is another beautiful Farm Gate coffee that is good for espresso.
