Sumatra, Arisarina Cooperative

The unique process of converting Sumatran coffee cherries from a fruit to a dry green bean produces a low acid coffee with flavors that can vary cup to cup and reflect its lush tropical Indonesian island origins. We compliment these qualities with a roast that is a touch darker than medium, bringing the complexity of this surprising coffee into full focus. The result is an earthy, smoky coffee with a hint of spice and cocoa.
