Java Sunda: Wet Hulled Cipelah

$16.00

This lot of wet hulled coffee was collected from small holder farmers near the mountain Tilu, in the Central part of West Java. It comes from a collector in this area who is buying coffee from the villages of Cipelah, Cianjur, Rancabali, and a few others. "Collectors" are intermediaries of sorts who buy partially processed coffee and full coffee cherry from small scale farmers and then often process the coffee down to the dried seed/bean. This particular collector built their own washing station last season, which opens up greater quality control than others who are only buying "gabbah", or wet coffee processed by the farmers they buy from. This region tends to hit its harvest peak earlier than many others, even though farms are relatively high elevation (1300 to 1500 meters). Maybe it has to do with timing of the harvest, but the wet hulled lots from this region also seem to cup consistently high! This is another beautiful Farm Gate coffee and an excellent choice for espresso.
