Washed Sulawesi: The Other Side of Toraja

Sulawesi's coffee identity is almost entirely associated with Toraja and the wet-hulled giling basah process that produces the characteristic heavy body, low acidity, and earthy-cedar character of the widely exported profile. But within the specialty sector, a smaller stream of washed-process Sulawesi coffee — processed using conventional fully-washed methods before or instead of wet-hulling — produces a categorically different cup that challenges assumptions about what Sulawesi coffee is. The Enrekang region (Masamba, Alla) and parts of the Luwu highlands produce washed Sulawesi lots that express the same volcanic soil character as wet-hulled Toraja but with a transparency and acidity the giling basah process suppresses.
