ABOUT THE COFFEE

This unique Indonesia of the Catimor variety was subjected to the wet-hulled process, followed by a 48-hour fermentation with the addition of fresh jasmine flowers. After this time, all flower residues are rinsed out, and the coffee is sent to dry. So much for the processing, and now a few interesting facts about the Simalem farm where this coffee comes from. It is located in the highlands of North Sumatra. This region, thanks to its fertile, volcanic soils and cool climate, offers ideal conditions for growing coffee. The Simalem farm operates in a sustainable manner, without the intensive use of chemicals, and its practices are certified and transparent. Johan Kwe is responsible for the quality of the processing; he is the only certified Q Processing Professional in Indonesia, meaning he possesses the best available knowledge in the field of coffee processing.

ROASTER'S OPINION

Officially the first co-ferment in the history of our roastery. It is very well-balanced – it tastes clearly of jasmine, but this is supported by the sweetness of grapes and a great, tea-like body. As summer is already outside the window, we often brew it cold – it turns out mega refreshing then!
