Processing method

Wet-Hulled

, known in Indonesia as giling basah, removes the while the coffee is still substantially wetter than a fully dried bean, often around 30–35 percent moisture at in documented examples. The exposed seed then undergoes further drying. This differs from washed coffee, where ordinarily remains in place until the seed is dried. The method is associated with Indonesia's humid growing regions, but its name cannot guarantee an earthy profile, low acidity or a specific quality grade. Ask the mill for moisture and drying practices.

What this processing label does not prove

The method name alone does not establish ingredients, fermentation time, microorganisms, drying conditions, farm identity or cup quality. Ask for a documented producer or roaster protocol before treating those details as facts.

These references support the general method description, not a particular producer’s undocumented recipe or cup score.
