Was ist der Wet Hulled Process?
The Wet Hulled Process is a method of processing coffee. We have clearly presented the 3 classic methods in a blog entry. The wet-hulled process, on the other hand, is unique in Indonesia. It was established due to the high humidity and is time-saving, as otherwise there is a risk of mold growth.
After the coffee cherries have been cleaned, they are depulped, i.e. the outer pulp is removed, and then stored in sacks for a few hours, during which time they begin to ferment. Then the parchment skin is removed and the beans are dried. Since all the outer layers of the coffee beans have already been removed, drying is much faster than with the classic methods. A slightly woody, smoky taste develops. The beans of our Lungo Intenso are processed according to this method.
