Blackberry & Honeydew
This coffee comes from the Kerinci Valley in the Western Highlands of Indonesia. The area is home to a lush tropical rainforest and Mount Kerinci, the country's highest volcano. The farmers hand-pick the ripest cherries and sort them for quality. The cherries are then carefully dried on raised beds in the sun to 10-11% moisture. The coffee is then milled, sorted, and stabilized in Grainpro bags. The result is a sweet and fruity coffee with sugary waves of strawberry, blackberry, honeydew melon, and the part of the watermelon before you get to the rind.
We recommend letting fresh coffee rest to allow the beans to stabilize. This will result in a sweeter, more expressive cup. We rest washed coffees 5–10 days, naturals 10–15 days, and experimentals 15–30 days.
