Might be worth a post in the coffee community
Very interesting! I just reviewed one of their beans in my most recent episode of bean review here.
I have a bag of their decaf too which I’ll review soon, and which I’m much more of a fan of. If you read my review of their Sumatra offering you’ll know it wasn’t my favourite, but their Evolve Decaf is quite nice.
After reading your post, I want to try and find a really nice bag from them now. Maybe I just don’t like Sumatra.
Sumatra in general is pretty polarizing. Sumatran coffee is usually wet hulled. Basically, instead of drying beans with the parchment on, which protects the bean from oxygen, they remove the parchment while the bean is still wet. This lets them dry the coffee quicker, but it oxidizes.
It's almost like a pu'er tea compared to regular black tea.
In a similar vein is monsooned coffee from Malabar (southwest india) where it's exposed to rains for a while after drying. I probably won't like it, but I want to try it.
Are these as terrible for the environment as those damn windmills the US president keeps warning us about?
i wonder how the actual cost/time of the shipping compares.
Ditto, sea transport is incredibly efficient that the cost is relatively negligble compared to everything else that needs to be done to make a cup. Curious what the unloading/loading procedures are like as it seems like the sails would get in the way of typical container cranes.
