Sumatra Asman Gayo (Washed)

sumatra asman gayo is a washed-process coffee from the gayo highlands of sumatra, indonesia, roasted by dark woods coffee ltd. washed processing removes the fruit before drying, which tends to produce a cleaner cup than sumatra's more common wet-hulled coffees. this one carries a winey character, meaning you can expect a ferment-edged brightness alongside the body typical of sumatran beans. it suits brewing methods that highlight clarity, so a filter approach such as pour-over or aeropress will let that winey quality come through without muddying it. grind fresh, use water around 92-94°c, and avoid over-extraction to keep the brightness intact.
