Sumatra Coffee: Deep, Earthy, and Intensely Satisfying

Sumatra coffees are legendary for their bold character and unmistakable depth—and our Sumatra coffee from Aceh, Takengon is no exception. This is a coffee crafted for those who love richness, complexity, and a cup that lingers long after the last sip.

With medium acidity, a syrupy body, and tasting notes of dark chocolate, dried fruit, and earthy undertones, this Sumatra offers a grounded, comforting experience that feels both powerful and refined.

Origin: Aceh, Takengon – The Heart of Sumatran Coffee

Grown in the lush highlands of Aceh, Takengon, this coffee thrives at altitudes between 1100 and 1600 meters, where cool mountain air and fertile volcanic soil create ideal growing conditions.

The region is known for producing coffees with:

• Deep body and weight

• Low to medium acidity

• Complex, earthy flavor profiles

These natural conditions give Sumatra its signature richness and unmistakable sense of place.

From the Farmers: KBQB Cooperative

This coffee is sourced from the Koperasi Baitul Qiradh Baburrayyan (KBQB), a respected cooperative dedicated to quality, sustainability, and community-driven coffee production.

By working closely with local farmers, KBQB ensures:

• Careful harvesting and processing

• Consistent quality across lots

• Ethical and sustainable farming practices

Every cup supports craftsmanship at origin and preserves Sumatra’s coffee heritage.

Processing Method: Giling Basah (Wet-Hulling)

What truly sets Sumatra apart is its traditional Giling Basah processing method, also known as wet-hulling.

This unique technique:

• Removes the parchment while the bean is still moist

• Creates the signature earthy, savory notes

• Enhances body and mouthfeel

• Produces a long, lingering finish

Wet-hulling is responsible for Sumatra’s unmistakable character—bold, rustic, and deeply satisfying.
