This coffee comes from the Kerinci Valley in the Western Highlands of Indonesia, an area home to a lush tropical rainforest and Mount Kerinci. Farmers hand-pick the ripest cherries and sort for quality. The cherries are dried on raised beds to 10-11% moisture, then milled, sorted, and stabilized in Grainpro bags. The result is a sweet and fruity anaerobic natural with flavor notes of strawberry, blackberry, honeydew melon, and watermelon.
PERC Coffee was founded in 2010 by Philip Brown in Savannah, Georgia, beginning with a Diedrich IR 12 roaster sourced from eBay and initial deliveries made by bike and backpack. The roastery operates from a restored warehouse alongside an organic community garden, embedding sustainability into both coffee sourcing and physical space. Brown sources colorful coffees from various origins, prioritizing long term producer relationships that allow consistency and trust building. The roasting philosophy centers on small batch profiles crafted to maximize sweetness and varietal character, while monthly free public cupping sessions invite the community into the sensory experience of specialty coffee.
