Jambi is a province of Indonesia located on the island of Sumatra. It spans from the east coast of the island to the Barisan Mountains in the west, where several volcanoes have created valleys with mineral-rich soils ideal for agriculture.
This coffee is sourced from farms of the Koerintji Barokah Bersama Cooperative in Kerinci, Jambi. The 320 members live and farm on a plateau that sits at the foot of Mount Kerinci. It is one of the many volcanoes in the Pacific’s Ring of Fire, a 40,000-kilometer horseshoe-shaped series of 452 volcanoes that are part of an almost constant dance of eruptions and plate movements. Mount Kerinci’s historic eruptions have assured that the surrounding area is lush and verdant thanks to the deep supply of fertile volcanic soil.
This particular lot is a washed processed coffee. The process involves machines called depulpers that remove the seeds from the cherries before drying them. Once done, the seeds go into tanks full of water. The water ultimately washes the rest of the mucilage and fruit caked onto the seed. Finally, the seeds go onto beds in the sun to dry out.
The resulting cup reminds us of plum, milk chocolate and honey.
