Understanding Wet-Hulled (Giling Basah) Sumatran Coffees

The wet-hulled process is unique to Indonesian coffees and is the defining characteristic that gives Sumatran coffee beans their intense flavor and complexity.

This labor-intensive method involves hulling the coffee at a high moisture content, resulting in a higher moisture level in the finished raw bean. While this carries risks (like fermentation or mould taints), our stringent quality control ensures we only purchase lots, like this Lake Tawar, that pass our critical tests.

Our 42+ years of experience in coffee guarantees a unique, untainted, and superior product.
