Sumatra is a large tropical island in Western Indonesia, once known at the "Island of Gold", likely because of gold deposits once found in the island's highlands. Most people would be surprised to learn that, though it is rarely visited, it is the sixth largest and fifth most populous island in the world. Coffee was introduced to the island by the Dutch from Ethiopia in the 17th century.
Our Sumatran coffee is grown in the far northwestern province of Aceh in rich volcanic soil which is organic and very fertile. The people of this region are ethnic Mandhelings. They process these wonderful coffees in the mountainous area within the Aceh region in the Gayo Mountain Mill near the city of Takengon where typical growing altitudes average between 1,100 and 1,300 meters although they can reach as high at 1,900 meters.
Sumatran coffees are very popular for their full body - perhaps the world's fullest bodied coffees - and low acidity. Our Gayo Mountain coffee is slightly lighter in body (though still full-bodied), well-rounded and wonderfully sweet, rustic and earthy.
