Spread across thousands of islands, Indonesia makes coffee unlike anywhere else, largely because of its signature wet-hulled processing (giling basah). Born of a wet climate, the method strips brightness and acidity from the cup and replaces them with a heavy, syrupy body and deep savoury flavour: cedar, tobacco, dark chocolate, forest floor. Sumatra is the icon, but Sulawesi, Java and Flores each add their own character to a rustic, polarising, instantly recognisable style.

Wet-hulling leaves the green bean a distinctive deep blue-green and is the main reason Sumatran coffee tastes so unmistakably earthy.
