Roaster Notes
Sumatra is the largest island in Western Indonesia and, because of its volcanic soil and rainforest climate, produces some of the most well-known and unique coffees in the world. Adding to its already distinct flavor profile, coffee from this region is most commonly produced using a semi-washed or “wet-hulled” method. This involves removing the skin of the coffee cherry and allowing the seed to dry within the mucilage. Typically this yields coffee with a strong body which is aromatic and earthy.
