BLUE SUMATRA - Mandheling 'Permata Gayo'

£7.00 - £14.00

A firm favourite with our customers!

Process: Semi-Washed (Wet Hulled- 'Giling Basah')

 

Altitude: 1350 - 1600m

 

Roast: Medium/Dark

 

Strength: 4/5

 

Characteristics: Full-bodied and smooth, this coffee boasts notes of chocolate, syrup, cherry, citrus and peach. Rich and aromatic in the cup with low acidity.

'Rainforest Alliance', 'Organic' and 'Fairtrade' certified.

Further Information: The 'wet parchment' coffee (known as 'Gabah') has a 45% moisture content and is dried for around a day prior to hulling. After hulling, the coffee becomes the 'Labu' (wet green bean at 30% moisture) and then takes a further two days to become 'Assalan' which has a 20% moisture content. At that stage the 'Assalan' is transported to the main dry mill where it will be further dried for half a day to 13% moisture, at which stage it becomes ready for grading and export.

The 'Gayo Highlands' region of the 'Central Aceh' resides on a high plateau in the centre of the province in northern Sumatra and is about as rural as you can get in Indonesia. The Permata Gayo cooperative was established there in 2006, after the Aceh conflict which destroyed coffee farms in the area, and has grown to 2125 members today.

Swiss Water™ Decaf Sumatra

£8.50 - £17.00

Process: Washed, Swiss Water Decaffeinated

Altitude: 1400m

Roast: Medium/Dark

Strength: 3.5/5

Characteristics:

A lovely, full-bodied decaf. Earthy, spicy and herbal with a fruity finish and notes of plum and caramel. 

Swiss Water Coffee is decaffeinated 100% Chemical Free

Further Information: To prepare the beans for caffeine removal, they are first cleaned and hydrated with pure, local water; the beans are then introduced to an internally developed Green Coffee Extract (GCE), and caffeine removal begins.

The coffee is left to extract until the ratio of soluble compounds in the GCE to the compounds in the coffee reach the point of equilibrium. Caffeine and GCE flow continuously through carbon filters until all the caffeine is trapped and separated from the GCE, which is refreshed so that it can be used again and again to remove more caffeine. The process is monitored for around 10 hours until the coffee is 99.9% caffeine free.
