Tanjak

One cherry, one cup.

Tanjak is the root of menanjak: to climb a slope. We roast three lots from three real slopes, each picked red, one cherry at a time.

Process
Natural

Follow one cherry from a terrace at 1,300 m to a carafe on your screen. Scroll to move it forward. Scroll back and it returns. At the end, you pour the brew yourself.

Petik merah means pick red: only ripe cherries, by hand, in several passes.

Washed or natural: the cup changes.

Same cherry, two ways to take the fruit off.

Washed coffee reads clean and clear. Natural coffee carries fruit from the cherry it dried in. Giling basah, the wet-hulling used across much of Sumatra and Sulawesi, suits wet weather and gives Gayo its heavy body.

Your lot, Kintamani, follows the natural route.

Washed

The skin comes off in the pulper. The seeds, still coated in mucilage, ferment for 24–36 h and are washed. The parchment dries on a raised bed for 10–14 days, from 50 % to 11 % moisture. Then it is hulled.

Natural Your lot

The whole cherry dries on the bed for 18–25 days, from 60 % to 11–12 % moisture. It darkens and wrinkles. Then the dry husk cracks off.

Bean-probe readings on our drum. Other roasters read differently. 15 kg drum, 12 kg batch.

A roaster reads the log. Charge, turning point, yellowing, first crack, development, drop. The lots leave the drum at different points. Kintamani's fruit fades if we roast it darker, so it drops early. Gayo's body carries a dark roast and suits kopi tubruk, so it drops after second crack.
