The Fullwash or Washed Process refers to a coffee processing method in which the beans undergo a more intensive washing process after picking. Here’s some information about this product:

1. Fullwash Process (Washed Process):

In the fullwash process, the coffee beans are first separated from the fruit, then soaked and washed to remove the fruit layer and pulp.
Afterward, the coffee beans are further processed through fermentation to remove any remaining pulp.
This process gives the coffee a cleaner flavor, with higher acidity, and often results in a brighter and sharper flavor profile.

2. Flavor Characteristics:

Generally, this coffee has a brighter flavor characteristic with slightly more pronounced acidity, compared to processing methods such as wet hulling.

3. Gayo Coffee Quality:

The Gayo Highlands in Aceh are known as one of the best coffee-producing regions in Indonesia, with an ideal climate and soil for growing high-quality coffee.
Coffee from this region frequently wins awards and is recognized internationally for its unique quality and flavor.
