Asman 64, Sumatra

Summary 

Clean, juicy and packed to the brim with ripe fruit flavours, Asman 64 is yet another winner we’re thrilled to feature from the Asman Gayo mill in Sumatra. A washed-processed variation of similar lots produced by Asman Arianto, this coffee has a tea-like mouthfeel, Ribena juiciness, and ripe berry sweetness. We recommend this coffee to those who enjoy black espresso and filter beverages.

Producer 

Coming from the Pegasing district of Takengon, Sumatra, is Asman Lot 64. We’ve once again been impressed by the coffee coming from Asman Gayo Mill in Aceh, which is owned and operated by Cup of Excellence winner Asman Arianto. Several small coffee producers in the Pantan Musara villages sell their coffee cherries to the mill, at which Asman oversees the processing of the coffee for export.

This particular lot has under gone ‘washed processing’, during which the fruit is stripped from the coffee beans before being dried. This method of processing is relatively uncommon for Sumatra, as the consistent humidity and cloud cover makes it difficult for the coffee to dry. Asman’s efforts to process coffee which differs from the traditional methods of wet-hulling speaks into his passion for his product, and his dedication to producing a high quality product which stands out from the rest.
