About This Coffee

Our very darkest roast - taken through the beginning of the second crack, it’s a suitably smokey coffee that packs a serious punch, while still maintaining its interesting notes of red berries and chocolate. It comes from the Permata Gayo co-operative, which was founded in 2006 with the aim of guaranteeing traceability throughout the supply chain, and managing all aspects of coffee production and sorting, improving both consistency and quality in the process. It uses a processing method unique to Indonesia - ‘Galling-Basah’. This involves drying the green coffee to three different levels of humidity, as the beans are transported further and further down the mountain, and creates a raw coffee with a slightly blue hue.
