Sumatra - Garuda - Organic Grade 1

Cupping Notes: Peat moss, tobacco, good balance, lime, grapefruit About This Coffee Crowned Garuda is a grade 1 Arabica that is wet hulled and comes from the North Sumatra and Aceh regions of Sumatra. The farmers select this premium coffee to create a target cup profile that is full bodied with tobacco, cedar, peat moss and some herbal notes. Wet hulling is a process devised in Sumatra and adopted throughout the region as a solution to rainy, humid conditions that make drying green coffee a challenge. Typically, farmers depulp freshly picked cherries, ferment overnight, and wash the seeds before selling to a mill or collector only partially dried. The coffee's husk (parchment) is removed much earlier stage than in a standard washed process, while the green seed is still soft and pliable; great care is needed to prevent excessive damage. After milling, the coffee seeds are then finally dried until optimum moisture content is reached.
