Rakyat, Anaerobic Honey

Indonesia has a long history of coffee cultivation, yet it is often overlooked by the specialty market. Known mainly for its traditional wet hulling, the country’s potential for clarity and refinement is only beginning to be recognised.

This season, we were struck by the nuance and balance found in Aulia Kahpi’s anaerobic natural and anaerobic honey lots.

Aulia grows coffee on Rakyat Farm, which he inherited from his family. In 2019, he placed ninth in the Sumatra Prestige Cup for his wet hulled coffee. Since then, he has expanded his work, collecting ripe cherry from neighbouring farmers and refining his approach.
