Grade 1 wet hulled coffee from the Mamasa Valley in Sulawesi's western province, harvested in 2019 and aged for 5 years. This aged coffee exhibits mellowed acidity, a massive mouthfeel, and distinctive spicy and woody notes including cinnamon, sandalwood, cedar, and mesquite. The aging process creates a unique cup profile that delivers darker roasted coffee characteristics at lighter roast levels.
