Product Overview
Full Cupping Notes

Wet process Indonesian coffees are often our go-to replacement when coffees from Central American are scarce. They're versatile coffees, capable of producing simple, clean cup profiles, with moderate level of sweetness and acidity, and great body. Wolo Wio definitely fits the bill! The fragrance and aroma weave together notes of cocoa and dark chocolate, with raw sugars lurking in the background. The cup has weighty mouthfeel when brewed, a nice intensity overall, well balanced, with ample bittersweetness that rounds out the profile. I found a well developed caramel note around City+, and the mild top notes that come up as the coffee cools hint at cinnamon, date sugar, and Snickerdoodle cookies. Full City roasts develop pleasantly round body, and a bittersweet undertone that resonates in the finish. Wolo Wio is versatile in terms of brewing style too, and makes a bittersweet single origin espresso option when roasted to Full City and beyond.

Origin & Farm Notes

This lot is a blend of coffees from smallholder farmers in a few of the neighboring towns in the Ngada District of Flores, not far from Wawo Muda, the active volcano. It gets its name from Wolo Wio village ("kampung") where the coffee was processed by a local named Leo Suri. Om Leo is a member of a nearby cooperative, Primavera, who organize coffee growers from neighboring villages in an effort to bring their coffee to the global market. He processes the cherry using a small pulper machine, then ferments the coffee for 36 hours to break down the sticky fruit mucilage that's stuck to the seeds, and then washes it away. He's built drying tables using split bamboo that are really nice for facilitating even drying because of the way they allow airflow. An interesting fact about coffee production in this region is that it's typically grown using organic methods, though the cooperative is not certified at this time.
