Sumatra Ribang Gayo

Sumatra Ribang Gayo

Coffee Shrub sourced this coffee from The Ribang Gayo Musara Cooperative, Aceh in the western most province of Indonesia. Usually, we see a lot of Wet hulled processed coffees coming out of Indonesia which produce that strong woody and chocolatey flavor that we all know and enjoy. This Coop however focuses on methods such as Natural, Washed and Honey processing to keep up with a more specialty turning coffee market. This coffee is one of the results of that and it does not disappoint!

This is a full, dry process coffee, meaning the cherry and seed are dried whole. It takes a few weeks to fully dry the coffee, and the fermentation that occurs naturally, from the coffee fruit still intact with the bean, makes a big impact on the cup flavors. When done well, you're left with a fruited coffee unlike any wet-process coffee out there, and certainly a far cry from the average wet-hulled Sumatra.

I sourced this coffee over a year ago and it has since been one of the crowd favorites at the coffee shop. Sweet, funky, chocolatey all while being approachable and delicious. Try it on pour over or espresso!
