Wet hulling, or Giling Basah, is a type of coffee processing that is unique to Indonesia and is used in this wonderfully rich coffee from Sumatra. Despite sounding similar to wet processing, the most common type of coffee processing, wet hulling is actually quite different. The most distinct aspect being the process to which the outside layers of the coffee beans are removed. They are fermented then processed by a wet-huller machine before the final drying period. This process is beneficial to Indonesian farms as it helps expedite the coffee processing times in the extremely damp environment present in Indonesia.
