Minang Arabica Green Coffee Bean (Specialty, Semi Washed Process) is coffee originating from the province of West Sumatra, Indonesia. The province of West Sumatra is crossed by the equator and has a landscape of hills and mountains which are among the highest in Indonesia. This condition resulted in West Sumatra or better known as the Minangkabau area, to be very fertile for agriculture, especially coffee. The plateau, with an altitude between 1400-1500 Masl, is ideal for growing coffee, especially Arabica coffee. The sunshine that shines on most of the day and coupled with fertile soil, causes coffee to grow well in this area, so the coffee produced is very different compared to other regions in Indonesia. The resulting coffee can be roasted very well from medium to dark roasts. The roasting results are very earthy and very suitable to accompany you while working and relaxing. For those of you coffee lovers, it's time to try coffee from this area, and feel earthy coffee taste sensation.
Also known as the â??wet-hulledâ?? process. The outer skin is removed, similar to washed coffee, but the mucilage â?? inner-mesocarp â?? remains on the parchment and is sun-dried. Then the parchment is removed.
The swollen white beans enter the second drying-phase. At 12-13% moisture content the coffee turns dark green, a colour that depicts semi-washed coffee. This processing method increases the coffees body and intensity
