Body and sweetness rate very high for me, milky sweet notes of caramel and butterscotch, fruited accents of dried pineapple, golden raisin, with notes of honey and marmalade stretching into the long aftertaste. City to Full City.

Product Overview
Full Cupping Notes

The fragrance has a scent of molasses, and aromatic incense, like sandalwood, with sweet ripe fruits, and complex herbal accent notes. Sweet smells are well developed and intense in the wet aroma, like fresh baked molasses ginger cookies, pumpkin bread, and hints of rustic fruits. At City+, the cup has a nice milky texture which lends to silky sweet notes of caramel and butterscotch. Rounded body and sweetness rated really high for me, but there was more going on the cup. As it cooled, fruited accents, like dried pineapple, and golden raisin came into view, with notes of honey and marmalade stretching into the long aftertaste. The acidic impression was mild-to-moderate, which is often the case with honey process coffee. That said, it didn't feel as if the coffee needed more structure, or lacked dimension. Full City roasts are inky and bittersweet, with dark herbal notes of horehound candy, aromatic anise, and dark-toned bittersweetness.

Origin & Farm Notes

This small 12 bag lot of honey process coffee comes to us by way of a 3rd generation Sulawesi farmer named Yolan Tirta. Not only does Yolan manage his own coffee farms, he also works with small holder farmers in nearby towns to help improve post-harvest processes, and ultimately the quality of their coffee. This lot is from a group he is working with in the town of Angin Angin, who along with Yolan, have made it their mission to put Enregkang back on the map as a top producer of Sulawesi Specialty coffee. Having won 3rd place at this year's Cup of Excellence competition with another honey process lot, Yolan and the Angin Angin farmer group are well on their way to achieving that goal! Coffee farming in Enrekang region predates the Toraja, a much more well-known coffee region, by decades, and in fact was ground zero for the Sulawesi coffee trade for many years. Not only does Angin Angin have the historical pedigree, but the community are also situated on the highest mountain peak in all of Sulawesi, Litimojong. The farms range in altitude from 1500 to 1800 meters above sea level, and most are growing Typica cultivar types. This honey process coffee boasts big body, complex sweetness, and an array of interesting top notes like fruit and dark herbal notes.
