Indonesia which is one of the largest coffee producers in the world. Our coffee is grown on the island of Sumatra in Aceh province and It is near the world’s largest volcanic lake. The rich soil from the volcanoes and the consistent weather conditions produce fresh coffee almost all year. Giling Basah (wet hulled process) is the Sumatran coffee’s unique process method, gives the coffee a great body and flavour as well as a spicy finish and hints of tobacco.
Giling Basah wet hulled process method is adopted specifically by many producers who lacked the drying infrastructure that was needed to shelter drying parchment from the high humidity and inconsistent rainfall typical in Sumatra.
After harvesting the green coffee beans, the Giling Basah method allows the outer skin of the bean to be removed from the cherries inside using machines. after the course of 24 hours, the coffee fruits are left to partially dry, so they only retain roughly 30% of the moisture they used to have. The coffee is hulled while it is half wet and half dry to reduce the coffee’s overall acidity and increase its body, also known as its heaviness and richness. Giling Basah gives the coffee beans a blueish tint. When the coffee is wet hulled, the coffee beans are let out to dry before they shrink.
