Longberry is named because of its appearance originated from Aceh Longberry varietal. The size of this Wahana Longberry is relatively long compared to other varietals.

In Indonesia, Longberry was known to be grown only in Aceh and we decided to plant it in Wahana Estate in 2006. Growing of Longberry varietals is a slow process and only reached maturity after 7 years, unlike other varietals that generally only takes 3-4 years in Indonesia. Wahana Longberry has low yield per tree which in turns resulting in intense cup profiles.

On this natural process, the cherries are washed in Wahana Estate washing station. The floaters are separated and only heavy cherries are washed. The cherries are then sun-dried under canopy until cherries are hardened and then hulled in Wahana Estate resulting in green beans.
