This Sumatra comes from a fair-trade, rainforest alliance certified co-op in Northern Sumatra. Much cleaner tasting than other Sumatras, this coffee features the same thick and syrupy mouthfeel, slightly spicy notes that many love about Indonesian coffee. However, this bean boasts more complexity than other Sumatras and fewer "earthy" notes. Look for notes of dark chocolate, and a thick, nougat-like finish.
