Sumatra Gayo - 16oz

Description Profile Data Sheet Roast Level Lingo The unique process used in its production results in a full body with a concentrated flavor garnished with herbal nuances and a spicy finish. Giling Basah, the name of the traditional Sumatran process, involves hulling the parchment off of the bean at roughly 50% moisture content; for comparison, most other processes hull coffee at around 10-12% moisture. This unique Sumatran process results in a trademark flavor profile (low acidity and a richness that lingers on the back of the palate) and gives the green beans a signature dark color. Sumatra drinkers enjoy what they feel are smoother, fuller-bodied results. "When you have 10 coffees on a table and one of them is weird — that one is either going to be whipped and lashed, or people are going to be like, 'this is the greatest thing ever!' It's just hard to compare Sumatra alongside anything else." –Tom Owen, Sweet Maria's resident guru commenting on Sumatra Cupping Profile Tas
