About product

“BLACK CROW WHITE PIGEON”. EXTRAORDINARY COFFEE STORIES.

Chapter 5

The Black Crow presents: 

The aroma of red wine fills the air and is soon complemented by the incredibly fragrant notes of cinnamon, caramel and burnt sugar. Reminds you of mulled wine, doesn’t it?

Flying over the highlands of Gayo, a region located in the island of Sumatra, one can see a stretch of extraordinary coffee plants below, surrounded by gorgeous landscapes and nurtured by a unique island climate. The local farmers pick the cherries growing on these luscious plants, then process them using a local processing method called Giling Basah. Once fermented and washed, beans aren’t dried fully: instead, while still damp (with a moisture content of around 25–30%), they’re hulled using special machines and only then allowed to reach the end of the drying process. This results in coffees that are less acidic, yet generally more intense—and this is the exact flavour profile Indonesian varieties are nowadays known for.

What's the difference between specialty coffee beans and regular ones?

Specialty coffee includes only the world’s best-rated varieties. Who rates it and how do they do that, you wonder? Well, the rating is in the hands of certified coffee tasters. They evaluate the quality of the coffee they’re presented with based on the scale created by the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA). Four criteria are assessed: origin, the appearance of green beans, the aroma of the prepared brew, and its flavour characteristics. Only coffees that end up scoring somewhere between 80 and 100 points can be rightfully referred to as “specialty”.

How does the Giling Basah processing method affect the flavour of coffee?

Giling Basah is a semi-washed processing method, which makes the coffee less acidic and endows it with a more intense taste.
