Herbal sweet notes of horehound candy and Ricola, accented by tobacco, foresty peat, bittering cocoa, woody whole clove, and rounded mouthfeel. Intense low tones in darker roasts. City+ to Full City+. Good for espresso.
Full Cupping Notes
The ground coffee had an interesting scent of herbal honey accented by tobacco leaf, an earth toned aroma, and bittersweetness underneath. Low toned aspects that showed in the wet aroma were much more potent, with sharp cocoa notes, and a mossy accent. This lot cups a bit like wet hulled coffee in our assessment. That is to say that it has cup flavors we often taste in wet hulled coffee; tobacco, foresty peat, and fresh green aromatics. The sweetness had a very interesting herbal overlay that reminded me of horehound candy, or Ricola cough drops, and brought a resinous quality to the cup. Rounded mouthfeel fades to bittering cocoa powder in the finish. It made an excellent dark roasted brew as well, impressively bittersweet, with intensity of high % cacao bar, rich dark torte, and complex aroma of woody whole cloves, and truffle oil.

Origin & Farm Notes
This lot is made up from several farmers in Kahayya town, South Sulawesi. We were introduced to the coffee of Kahayya on a Sulawesi trip two years ago, and having tasted some really promising samples, were able to get out and see the area first-hand. The group farmers in Kahayya are loosely banded around a man named Marsan, who we had the pleasure of joining for a lovely tour of the village by foot, scooter, and truck! While coffee is pretty prevalent in this area, farmers are also growing other crops like cacao, clove, and pepper vines. You see a lot of very old coffee trees, including Line-s, and Typica types, some that Marsan claimed are over 100 years old. It would make sense considering the long history of coffee in this area that stretches back to Dutch colonizers. You also see a lot of very old Robusta in the area too, which is processed separately from the Arabica. The altitude in Kahayya ranges from 1400 to 1700 meters above sea level.
