About the Cup
An exemplary wet hulled coffee from Mr. Aulia, with intense rustic cup sweetness, and incredible depth of flavor. All the extra effort Aulia puts into quality control pays off! It's a super sweet cup with earth-toned, herbal aromatics just beneath the surface. Sweet flavors of brown rice syrup, and rustic coconut palm sugar provided a nice backdrop, as herbal suggestions crept up in the cup. There were also latent hints of fruit after the coffee cooled down some, like stewed plums, and even a bit of citrus that added a nice bright touch.
About The Aulia Washing Station
This wet-hulled Aceh coffee is from a quality-savvy coffee collector named Aulia who buys in the districts of Bebesen and Kute Panang. Farms in these regions tend to span an altitude range of about 1300 to 1600 meters and are planted in older, long berry types (you'll see the long, canoe shaped beans) Abysinnia, Ateng and Tim Tim. In the scheme of things, Aulia's operation is quite small. He usually buys a few bags at a time, and then processes coffee with family at home. With small scale comes the capability for a high level of quality management. That extra care and attention given to quality control is apparent when you look at the green coffee, and of course in flavor too, both remarkably clean for a wet hulled coffee.
