POSSIBLY MAYBE (ETA NOV)
CONTINGENCY IN A CUP:
Possibly Maybe is the wild card on our menu. There are no strict guidelines for it. Instead it is a celebration of emergent or under-represented origins, or perhaps a sensory profile that veers far from its regional expectations, or simply it is a lot that is delightfully surprising! We call it contingency in a cup because the flavour profile presents what is 'neither necessary, nor impossible', which is also part of what makes coffee so fun.
As Björk says in her song Possibly Maybe, "uncertainty excites me" because "who knows what is going to happen?"
ORIGIN:
Sadayana washing station was established in 2022 and works as a central hub for just over 200 farmers throughout Gunung Tilu & Gunung Halu. The stations name is a Sundanese word for 'working together' and reflects its aim for community support and outreach. While Indonesia is often associated with wet-hulled or giling basah coffee, stations like Sadayana continue to expand into washed and experimental lots, like this low oxygen processed gem!
FLAVOUR:
West Java offerings have become a mainstay on our late Fall menu and are such a good way to hold on to warm and tropical flavours. There are nice hibiscus floral aromatics that work perfectly with its crisp and bright citrus acidity. There is so much cranberry that I was tempted to put fresh cranberry, craisins, and cranberry juice as the taste notes but had to go with cocktail since it is also nice and sweet. The finish hits with lingering spicy sweet notes, think persimmon or molasses.
