We picked this coffee up on our trip to Sumatra last fall. While our friends at KGLA produce exceptionally clean traditional wet-hulled coffees, they also have been experimenting with washed and honey process methods. Alternative processing methods are pretty rare in Sumatra, which makes this coffee unique.
Honey processing can produce a range of flavor intensity, depending on how much mucilage is left on the bean when it dries. This coffee is definitely on the fruitier side, closer to a natural than a washed coffee. So fans of Honey Honduran may find this coffee to be quite different. That's what we found interesting about it, it has a unique tart and fruity quality, while also retaining all of the full body that Sumatran coffees are famous for.
You won't find this anywhere else!
