After the old forum software breaking in a way that we were unable to fix, we've migrated the site to a new platform.

Some elements aren't working as we'd hoped - some avatars didn't survive the transition, and we're still having issues with attachments that weren't added as inline images, but we're hoping to have that all sorted out soon.

Sumatran Wahana Natural

edited November 2012 in Green Beans
After some discussion about this coffee on chat I approached Brendan at BeanGreen to see if he could source some.

He has managed to get a few bags and expects it to arrive by the end of the week so we should have some available to order shortly after.

It sounds like a great bean and I am excited to get my hands on some!

Here are a couple of links that discuss the bean,

    I'm just roasting 300gm green now. ;)

    Okay... Roasted 600g in the KKTO to just on second crack.  For espresso this needs (3days post) a finer grind then even my decaf.  Still have significant headroom in the awesome F5 but wow... I've never been this fine with any bean.  Resulting flat white is very sweet and luscious but I'd say like MM this will need at least another 7+ days.  Thank you Galumay and BeanGreen.  :thumb:

    We cupped this today, Trevor (greenman) roasted some up this morning at 6AM, we cupped it at 1pm then brewed it on Jono's new Kone V3. Cupping, initial dry aroma was a bit cucumber'ish, with a sweet smell to it also. It cupped with notes of watermelon and dark fruits which stayed as it cooled down. It's not as complex as I thought it would be. We brewed it: Kone V3 (in a v60 because we didn't have a chemex handy): 45gm grinds 750gm H20 100ml for 45sec bloom add remaining 650gm over 3m30 period brew until around 5min drip-through Really heavy and bold cup. Less watermelon, far more dark fruits. Very nice to drink. I'll probably be roasting my 1kg up just in to rolling 1st crack and enjoying on filter. Might roast 200gm for spro and see how that goes too :) Hope others are enjoying this interesting coffee!

    As I've stated a few times in other posts. Coffee needs to develop post roast. Everyone is entitled to do what they want to..........but personally.......... I really can't see any point at all in tasting something like an exotic Sumatran/Java/Sulawesi/Indo before day 9 or 10 - it's largely a waste of time unless the intention is to track and monitor the daily changes for some sort of experiment. Particularly with those specific origins, where you start and finish can be completely different with the likelihood of having a few wrong turns and detours thrown in between.

    I fully agree with what my cuppa posted & I often express my opinion in similar ways Anyway a report on my Wahana Wahana roasted 9th Dec 2012 = 5 whole days post roast Roast level light = just on first crack Aroma of beans in the bag is like overpowering ripe fruit Aroma of beans ground is like fermenting grapes in vats Aroma of the spent puck is hot and steamy fermenting grapes in vats None of the aromas were subtle in any way Coffee pulled on a Strega Lever Coffee Ground on a BNZ conical Coffee style made was a Ristreto Taste of Ristreto was dominated with citrus notes much like lots of PNG type beans but a little milder Taste with milk is like mild unsweetened fruit cake with a hint of caramel Mouthfeel was very wet and creamy on the pallet That's it so far I will report again on day ten if it lasts that long  :angel: KK

    Holy 3rd gesticulation KK... You are a seriously brave man: "roast level light"!  Would you be so kind as to share your modes operandi  :coffee2:

    Ooh sorry, just trying to work out how to quote on new iPad. KK, I'm guessing you meant just on 2nd crack.........

    That's correct I normally roast darker, but for the evaluation it was prudent to roast light & just on the cusp of first crack first up On the weekend I will let the roast go past second crack for a darker roast and see how that goes ? KK
