Sumatra coffee is very aromatic and makes a wonderfully satisfying cup – anytime of the day or night.Full of legends and mystery, the history of this coffee is as complex and interesting as a cup of the delicious, hot brew. The Dutch planted the first coffee plants in the early 19th Century in Sumatra, one of the thousands of tiny islands of Indonesia. These beans are known for producing a coffee that has a unique taste with a variety of subtle flavors. Coffee plantations in the mountainous areas produce beans known by their region: Sumatra Mandheling and Sumatra Lintong. Coffee from the Sumatra Gayo Mountain area or Aceh region are grown in the shade and without any chemicals. Green Sumatra coffee beans are known by their distinct asymmetrical shape and rich aquamarine color.

The brew’s unique flavor is enhanced by the manner the beans were processed. After the coffee cherries are picked, the farmers remove the skins, using rickety but picturesque machines made from scrap metal, wood, and bicycle parts. Next, the beans are allowed to ferment overnight; then they are washed by hand and dried in the farmer’s yard before going to a middleman’s warehouse. Here, they undergo more drying. Finally, the beans are loaded on trucks and taken to the coffee exporter at the seaport of Medan, where there is additional drying time. The process of exposing the beans to the pulp for extended period brings out the deeper tones in your cup of Extra Bold Sumatra Reserve.

Many Sumatran beans, grown by farmers in small cooperatives, are Certified Fair Trade Coffee. This means that a more equitable price is paid by the importers and the farmers receive a fair portion of the coffee sales. So while you’re enjoying a robust cup of Sumatra Extra Bold, your purchase is aiding a partnership with the farmers of Sumatra to bring you the finest, hand picked, organic Arabica coffee beans.

Most of the Aceh beans in US coffee shops come from a large mill that incorporates a wet method of processing. It meets international standards and is certified organic by a Dutch agency. The Gayo Mountain Washed beans produce a brew that is similar in flavor to that of the Lintong/Mandheling.

This mill also processes beans using a semi-dry method in which the outer skin of the coffee cherry is removed, leaving the beans covered with a sticky material. Next, they are naturally dried under the sun. These beans, marketed as Gayo Mountain Unwashed, produce an excellent, full-bodied coffee, after roasting.A lot of coffee addicts consider Sumatra as one of the finest in the world and its beans are perfect for darker roasting.
