Most Sumatran coffee is processed using a semi-washed method, or “Giling Basah”. This gives the pre-roasted bean a blueish hue and a reduced acidity. Directly translated, Giling Basah means “wet grinding” and is also known as wet hulling, semi-washed, and semi-dried. The process involves two stages of drying, once after is mucilage is washed off and once after its parchment is taken off. The coffee is dried exposed to the open air. This process imparts earthy notes as well as a big mouthfeel to the coffee, a signature flavor profile of Sumatran coffees.
