THE FARM: Our Sumatra Aceh Mandheling green coffee beans comes from smallholders in the Aceh province. Growers in this region have an average of 0.5 - 1 hectare dedicated to coffee, but with favorable climate conditions, rich, fertile soil, and a high altitude, conditions are ideal for growing coffee.

Unroasted coffee from Sumatra is truly differentiated by its unique wet-hulled (giling basah) processing method. The process uses water to remove the cherry's red pulp and mucilage, while also removing the parchment layer in a "wet huller". By removing the parchment layer the bean dries faster, which is beneficial in Indonesia's wet climate. The wet-hulled process gives Sumatra its signature intense earthy flavors of cedar and tobacco, as well as rich, sweet chocolate.

OUR ROAST: When you open the bag you’ll be hit with a potent smelling coffee, earthy and with a rustic-tinged sweetness from front to back. The dry grounds give off sweet caramel notes, a pipe tobacco accent, and a savory hint that reminds you of mushroom broth. The wet aroma is marked by smells such as rustic palm sugar and green mossy smells. Our roast delivers an authentically-Sumatran cup, where earth-toned sweetness is accented by hints of licorice root in the long aftertaste.
