Sumatran coffee is highly esteemed for its flavour, body, and sweetness.
They are unique in coffee as the only origin using wet-hulled processing methods (Sulawesi also uses this same technique).
Sumatran coffees consistently punch well above other origins.
Think bold, complex, and rewarding.
About Sumatran Coffee Beans
Small landholders own most Sumatran farms and plantations in Indonesia.
They produce their cherry and then offer these picked cherries for grading and processing at pulp mills.
Sumatran coffees exhibit bold and rustic flavours that stand up in the cup.
Sumatran coffees have such bold flavours due to a labour-intensive and risky process for the wet hulling of raw coffee.
Wet-hulling enhances and supercharges flavour compounds.
Single-origin Sumatran coffee beans are wild and spicy compared to many other origins, and coffee drinkers enjoying spicy richness will only ever drink Sumatrans for that reason.
We love dark chocolates, molasses, praline, toffee and stewed fruits with black currant.

Tips -
light, medium or dark
Each coffee in our store has a unique roast profile carefully engineered and continuously updated to achieve the best balance of flavor, body, complexity, acidity, sweetness and finish.
It's a never-ending process with new lots arriving almost weekly along with the constantly changing Melbourne weather conditions.
We don't use light, medium or dark as our guide. That's so outdated and quite frankly inaccurate with around 20 shades each of light, medium and dark.
The external or outside color is never a true indicator of a coffee's cup attributes (or performance).
In other words, coffee can appear dark outside but have under-developed internals (sour, flat, weak, thin, etc.) if it was roasted poorly.
Similarly, a light exterior can easily mask or hide internal scorching or invalid roasting profile.
The target for all of our coffees (excluding specific filter roast products that are intentionally roasted lighter) is medium.
Think cafe style and coffee that is best suitable for espresso or traditional brewing devices.
What's critically important to us is that we extract maximum goodness for you to enjoy.
After 20 years and hundreds of thousands of batches, we think our Tier 1 infrastructure, skills and experience surpass the market.
Ground coffee
Ground coffee will lose around 80% of essential vitality after 15 minutes oxygen exposure. Even ground coffee inside of a sealed, unopened bag will stale considerably within 2 weeks.
Some brewing applications, such as espresso, require roasted coffee in peak freshness to produce a delicious extraction. Other brew methods are less sensitive to the impact of staling coffee.
To ensure freshness, we never hold, store or manufacture any ground coffees. All our coffees are packed as whole beans within 1hr of roasting to lock in freshness.
When a customer orders ground coffee, we take fresh roasted beans, cut the seal, grind, clean and re-seal within 60 seconds. All at the moment your order is packed for dispatch.
We recommend for the best coffee experience to consider purchasing whole beans and grind only enough to brew just moments beforehand.
