About Sumatra Coffee

Sumatra coffee is renowned for its rich, full-bodied flavor that makes every cup distinctly memorable. Grown in volcanic soil, it offers a full-bodied, smooth texture with low acidity due to its unique wet-hulling process. This method, known locally as "Giling Basah," increases moisture content, resulting in a denser bean that roasts differently from other origins. Sumatra coffees typically display earthy, herbal notes, making them a robust choice for those exploring diverse roasting profiles. This region's beans are perfect for roasters who want to experiment with flavors that can withstand both light and dark roasts effectively.

 

Flavor and Aroma:

  • Flavor Profile: Sumatra coffees are known for their full-bodied, complex flavor. They often have earthy, woody, and sometimes mushroom-like notes, providing a distinct taste that differs significantly from more traditional coffee origins.
  • Herbal Nuances: These coffees frequently carry subtle herbal or spicy undertones, adding to their uniqueness and appeal among more adventurous coffee enthusiasts.
  • Low Acidity: Thanks to the wet-hulling process, Sumatra coffees typically have a much lower acidity compared to other coffees, which contributes to their smooth and creamy mouthfeel.
  • Aroma: The aroma of Sumatra coffee is deeply aromatic, often described as earthy and rustic with hints of cocoa or brown sugar, depending on the roast level.
  • Roast Versatility: Sumatra beans handle a range of roast levels well, from medium to dark. The flavors intensify and become richer and smokier with darker roasts.
