Sumatra’s crop size provides about 74.2% of Indonesia’s combined coffee product.

Sumatra has a population of approximately 55 million people and is the region’s largest producer of coffee. As always, we'll be offering a dark and medium roast version of this coffee.Sumatra is the world’s third-largest producer (after Brazil and Vietnam) of both Robusta and Arabica coffee.īut Sumatra isn’t just popular across the world it’s also popular in the Republic of Indonesia, where it’s the country’s second-largest island. Removing the parchment while still wet helps the beans dry faster for export in the warm, wet climate of Sumatra. The co-op started very small and is now currently composed of over 2,000 producers! This coffee is processed while still wet, giving the beans their signature blue-ish look. This co-op was formed in 2006 by 50 farmers in five different villages of the Bener Meriah region that came together after a powerful tsunami hit the region and devastated several of their coffee farms.

Classic earthy, tea-like, and sweet green apple notes are what we are looking for, and this fresh arrival from the Permata Gayo Cooperative fits the bill! The co-op resides in the Gayo Highlands in the province of Aceh – a very remote part of the central island on the northern tip of the country. Over the years we've had many different lots of Sumatran coffee, and we always do our best to keep them in line with a similar cup profile.
