Indonesian, Barokah Kerinci

barokah kerinci is a natural-process coffee from sumatra, indonesia, roasted by bells beans. natural processing, where the coffee cherry dries around the seed, tends to produce heavier body and fruit-forward character, and here that shows up as honey and honeycomb sweetness layered over a black tea, tea-like base. the result is a cup that is mellow and rounded rather than bright or sharp. it suits slower brew methods that preserve body, such as french press or pour over at a slightly lower temperature, where the honey-like sweetness can come through without bitterness crowding it out.
