Sumatra Coffee – Earthy, Bold, and Richly Complex

Sumatra Coffee – Earthy, Bold, and Richly Complex

Immerse yourself in the robust, full-bodied flavor of Sumatra Coffee, a dark, earthy brew sourced from the highlands of Aceh in Takengon. Known for its syrupy body and unique processing method, this coffee offers a one-of-a-kind experience with every sip. Grown by members of the Koperasi Baitul Qiradh Baburrayyan (KBQB) cooperative, the beans are cultivated at altitudes between 1,100 and 1,600 meters. This high elevation contributes to the coffee’s complexity, enhancing its medium acidity and lending it a deep, long-lingering body that is both satisfying and memorable.

Sumatra Coffee features a distinctive cupping profile, with tasting notes that include dark chocolate, dried fruit, and an earthy depth that only wet-hulled Sumatran coffees can achieve. The Giling Basha, or wet-hulling process, is a traditional method in Sumatra that enhances the coffee’s rich, earthy tones and syrupy texture, resulting in a full-bodied cup with a velvety finish. The varieties used in this blend—Tim Tim, Typica, Ateng, Onan Ganjang, and Jember—add layers of complexity, with each varietal contributing its own subtle flavors to the final cup.

Ideal for those who enjoy a bold, rich coffee with minimal acidity, Sumatra Coffee is versatile enough for a range of brewing methods. Its syrupy body and earthy profile make it particularly well-suited for French press and espresso, where its intense flavors can fully develop. The long-lingering body ensures that each sip is deeply satisfying, leaving a rich aftertaste that echoes with notes of dark chocolate and dried fruit.
