Description
Sumatra Takengon Red Cherry Triple Picked Proliner is sourced from the Jagong Mill and surrounding family-owned farms located in the Takengon and Atu Lintang coffee region of Aceh province on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia. Irham Junus owns and operates the Jagong Mill with his son, Andi and daughter, Ina. The Junus family has focused on meticulous ripe cherry selection resulting in something truly unique in Sumatra. The Junus family also has full control of the processing and milling right up to the final export stage, avoiding the long and convoluted supply lines that can compromise Sumatran quality.
Tasting Notes: Best from a medium to dark roast, wet-hulled coffees are not light roast coffees no matter how premium of an offering. Hints of citric crispness and soft fruit with a little sweeter chocolate edge, pulls some balance with some earthy spice (the good kind). Very clean cup for a Sumatra that is drinkable and balanced from a medium roast and beyond. The darker you roast, the fuller the body gets along with reducing any hints of acidity. Into second crack will turn more into a chocolaty spice noted treat but will reduce the sweeter edge. Picks up some complimenting roasty and smoky tones into the more bakers chocolaty cup profile.
Roasting Notes: Easy to roast for a Sumatra coffee being such a gem. Roasts uniform for a wet-hulled coffee but one will still some diversity. Low in chaff and tasty from medium to dark. Often takes a little longer to achieve darker roasts, setup really smooths out the cup, we drink them after 24 hours but some may want to wait 3-4 days to ensure rich and smooth characteristics.
