  • About this Coffee

    Sumantra, Gayo Mountains

    If you need a break from nutty, chocolate coffees, try to add some spice in your morning brew. These beans have a nice mix of that familiar nuttiness but blend in fruits and spice (not the hot kind, think cinnamon/all-spice)

    You can always tell when a Sumantran coffee comes your way. It has a flavour profile not found anywhere else, with haunting notes of earth and spice. On the northern tip of the island lies the Central Aceh district deep in the Gayo Mountains. Here, coffee growers practice organic farming and care for their crops on steep slopes at 1,500ft. The environment is idyllic for coffee growing. The plants grow in the shade of the mountain forest and enjoy protection from temperature swings due to the effects of the nearby Lake Laut Tawar.

    We sampled many local producers and picked this particular one because it’s unmistakably “Sumantran” but with a sugary sweetness, subtle citrus and an interesting spicy dark chocolate profile that gave it additional depth and character.

  • Tasting Notes

    Almost no acidity, very pronounced dark chocolate and a hint of red berry in the tail.

    Roaster's Choice
    Sweet hawthorn and chocolate compete for your attention.

How to Brew It

20g Coffee : 300ml of water

For easier math, we recommend a ratio of 20g of coffee per 300ml of water. If you are doing a drip method, aim for your grinds to be about the size of coarse salt.

Tips

Resting Your Coffee

Right after roasting, coffee needs some time to chill for a minimum of three days. Our roasting cycle ensures that when you receive the beans, it’ll have rested the minimum needed. However, the flavours will continue to improve over a time. How long? Well that depends on the roasting level you ordered.

Tips

Peak Flavor Time

Your coffee will taste best depending on the roast level:

Light: 7-9 days after roast date
Roaster’s Choice: 5-7 days after roast date
Dark: 3-5 days after roast date

But every bean and person is different so please experiment and find what works for you!

No Pre-Ground Beans?

Unfortunately no. The second you grind, you expose your beans to the nemesis of delicious coffee: oxygen. Grinding introduces so much oxygen that your coffee may stale before you receive it.

To ensure you get the best tasting coffee possible, we recommend you to buy a grinder.
