Full Cupping Notes
I found the fragrance and aroma to be on the 'clean' side for wet hulled coffee, without much in the way of earthy/herbal aspects. They're there, but much subtler than I expected. The aroma had a nice butterscotch scent, with a spiced sweetness of coffee cake crust, and caramel malt. The cup sweetness is quite nice, and rides the line between maple and malt syrup. It makes a really nice light roasted brew too, which isn't always the case for wet hulled coffee. Not only is the cup moderately sweet, but it has a bright citrus accent that lends to the acidic impression. The finish was where I picked up most on process flavors, with complex notes of herbal bitters, and woodsy spice hints. Full City roasts have layered cocoa flavors, like smoked chocolate, bittering cocoa nib, with a bit of sage in the finish. They make a super creamy, bittersweet espresso, with aromatic accents of star anise, and pipe tobacco.

This wet hulled Javanese coffee is a small producer blend from farms near the village of Laspada, Garut Regency. Farmers in this area grow coffee at an average altitude of 1450 meters, and cultivate a mix of coffee varieties like Catimor and Typica types. This lot was made up from coffee of 47 farmers in Laspada, who collectively pool their harvest together, and deliver it to a mill for processing. Java Sunda (West Java) was the original coffee area, but you would find few trees here of late. Most Java coffee is grown in the East, where the big estates are. But farmers in Java Sunda always kept small coffee plots, although they mainly grown rice, onions, cabbage, carrots and other food crops for local markets in Bandung and Jakarta. It's nice to see small lots from the different mountain villages in the region rather than the typically large, full-container blends.
