Sumatra, Gayo Mountain

—

This organic, fair trade Sumatran coffee is grown at an elevation of 2,500 - 5,000 feet in the northern region of Aceh on this Indonesian island and bought from the Rahmat Kinara co-op of smallholder farmers.

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. 

You can subscribe to this coffee and receive automatic shipments every 1-4 weeks!
