More about this roast:
A stellar and unique Indonesian! Beautiful washed processing versus the traditional wet-hulling; gem of a bean. This is not your average Sumatra/Sulawesi/Bali type cup. Reminiscent of our old Sulawesi Toarco offerings that unfortunately fell apart in the pandemic. Very sweet and creamy coffee, lower acidity, with rich rustic chocolate like undertones and hints of soft fruit.

Coffee has been grown in the area surrounding Gunung Tilu since 1857 (“gunung” is the word for “peak” in the local language. Tilu has been designated as a nature preserve, and the 33 smallholder farmers who contribute to this lot farm their plots amongst the rich biodiversity of the area. Working with group leader, they sell their ripe cherry directly to Covoya’s wet mill at Tenjolaya Ciwidey. From there the cherry is immediately pulped and undergoes 16 hour fermentation, followed by pulping and drying in solar dryers. Cherries are floated and only the ripest red cherries are selected to ensure high cup quality.
