About Wahana Estate Washed | Indonesia
Grown at 1,250–1,450 masl in Sidikalang, North Sumatra, this lot comes from Wahana Estate — the largest private coffee estate in Indonesia.

This lot is P88, a variety with an unusual pedigree: it originated from a Dutch varietal trial in the 1980s and traces back to a Colombian Catimor, arriving via Thailand and Kenya before being planted in Sumatra.

Unlike the Giling Basah (wet-hulled) method typically associated with Indonesian coffee, this lot is processed using the washed method. Ripe red cherries are delivered to Wahana's own on-estate mill (built in 2007), where they're washed, sorted and pulped. The parchment is fermented for 12 hours to break down the remaining mucilage, then dried over 7 days using a combination of covered patios and mechanical driers, depending on space and weather.

This is a coffee with a very distinctive and unusual flavour profile. Tasting notes include clementine, raisin and matcha tea.

Processing Method

Washed

The washed process is the traditional method where the fruit is removed from the bean after harvest using water and de-pulpers. The coffee is sometimes fermented to break down remaining sugars before being washed in grading channels and then dried. This results in a “clean” cup that highlights the bean’s inherent origin characteristics and bright acidity.

Coffee Varietal

Mixed Varietals

This coffee may include several different coffee varietals. On many farms, multiple cultivars are grown side-by-side and harvested together. In other cases, a coffee may be composed of several components selected to create a balanced flavour profile. Each varietal contributes its own characteristics to the final cup.
