Indonesia

This coffee comes from the North Sumatra province in Indonesia, one of the largest coffee-producing regions by volume on the island. Coffee here is usually wet-hulled, a processing method unique to Indonesia due to unpredictable rains during the drying season. Once pulped, coffee is dried to a certain moisture level before hulling. After that, the coffee is dried the rest of the way before being prepared for export. Small, family-owned farms are the norm here, though larger estates do exist.

Sumatra is an Indonesian island with fertile volcanic soil. The taste of the coffee from Sumatra is often described as earthy, creamy, chocolaty, and even mushroomy. Coffees in Sumatra are traditionally processed using a method called Giling Basah, or wet-hulling, which gives it its signature earthy flavors.
