Sumatra: Wet Process Barokah Bersama Coop

This coffee comes from the Barokah Bersama Cooperative in Gunung Tujuh area ("gunung" means hill), a higher elevation coffee zone around Mount Kerinci in Jambi Province. Barokah are a relatively new cooperative of farmers, who have quickly made their mark with consistently high quality coffees, and a suite of process types. They have taken an interest in going beyond the traditional wet-hulled process, incorporating dry process, honey process and wet processing to their repertoire. This is their fully-washed coffee, meaning they are pulping, fermenting immediately and moving wet parchment straight to the drying beds after rinsing away the remaining fruit. A much gentler process for the coffee resulting in a cleaner flavor profile than the wet-hulled counterpart, almost no earth tones at all, and acidity that's normally lacking in Sumatran coffee. The farms in this area are planted in mostly Ateng (cross of Timor Hybrid and Bourbon) and benefit from the high slopes, situated between 140
