The traditional processing method for the island of Sumatra is the so-called “wethulled”, in the local language Giling Basah. This process consists of an initial fermentation of the drupes for 12-18 hours, a pulping and an initial drying of 5-6 hours. The parchment is then removed when the humidity is still between 30% and 40% and the drupes are then dried without the parchment until they reach 13% final humidity. This process allows for the typical bluish-green color of green coffee and a cup profile with a full body and moderate acidity.
