Flavor Notes: Chocolate, Black Cherry, Red Zinfandel, Earthy
Coming from a region with exceptionally high heat and humidity, Sumatran coffee is renowned for its full body and rich earthy notes. This popular lot comes to us from the Permata Cooperative, growing in the Gayo Mountain region, at the northern port of Aceh. Traditionally prepared to Sumatran standards, this deliciously earthy coffee ferments overnight to then be washed the next day. Afterwards, the coffee gets dried to 40% moisture, where the wet parchment is removed before further drying is achieved. This is a classic Sumatran style coffee incorporated with blends of varietals custom to the area.
American Roast: Our lightest roast, characterized by a dry surface, leading to a light body and a bright, piquant flavor
Full City Roast: A medium/light roast, slightly darker than our American, has a rich, sweet, full-body creating a complex cup
Vienna Roast: A medium/dark roast that brings the ambrosial coffee oils to the surface and brews a savory, pleasantly bittersweet cup
French Roast: A classic dark roast that results in a dark, oily bean with a bold flavor and heady aroma
Espresso Roast: As dark as it gets. Not actually recommended for brewing espresso, this roast is in pursuit of a densely redolent espresso flavor, without the espresso extraction process
