Wildan Mustofa and his wife Atieq Mustikaningtyas started their first coffee project in Sindangkerta, Weninggalih area in 2010. This later became the main growing area at his farm Java Frinsa Estate. Since the first year of production, Wildan has aimed to focus on quality which requires meticulous attention and processes. The cherries are washed to remove dirt and microbial contamination from the surface of the cherry skin, after cleaning, the lactobacillus culture is added to the cherries which are then put into plastic bags or plastic barrels and fermented anaerobically. The bags / barrels are rotated in the morning and evening and the gas is released, then the container is closed for 2 or 3 days. After fermentation the cherries are dried on raised beds.
Good tongue gripping structure and sourness up front - like a dry white wine. Short but with a lingering complex jammy and floral finish consisting of lavender, white tea and forest berry.

Sour Start
Not a favorite of the house. A bit sour at first taste. I did start to enjoy by the end but most likely because I got use to the sourness.

Incredible
Love the layered notes and I always gravitate towards a nice sour bite

Didn’t like the bitterness
Although the smell of the beans was promising, I did not like how bitter it was once I brewed it (using a Chemex drip)
