Sumatra - Koperasi ES - Organic
Jeremy's go to for espresso. It starts bright like the sun with syrupy orange juice viscosity and then has a nice stone fruit sweetness before settling in a finish of pinecone and tobacco aromatics. It reminds us of a sunrise on a foggy day in the piney woods--very grounding. This one is complex and pairs well with a nice sit and smoke rings on the hills of the Shire.
Earth to sky as seen from low eye
First we fly and then
We lie before we rise
To once more taste the shine

About this coffee...
Wagiman and Yasmin, two producers in the Aceh Tengah region of Sumatra, share a dedication to organic farming. Their farms, located at around 1450masl, are certified Fairtrade organic and only utilize natural fertilizers such as coffee husks and cow manure to enrich their coffee crops. This ensures soil fertility and longevity.
Ethnic Gayo farmers primarily grow Gayo 1 and Gayo 2 varietals. Although their origins are not well-documented, many believe that Gayo 1 is a strain of the Timor variety, while Gayo 2 shares similar characteristics to Timor and Bourbon. Both are commonly found throughout the highlands of this popular coffee region. The cup profile tends to be lighter-bodied than Mandheling coffees from further east.
Sumatra coffee production has a long history, extending to the 17th century when the Dutch East India Company imported coffee plants to Indonesia. Sumatra is home to a wide range of tropical flora, fauna, and microclimates. Farms on Sumatra are typically 0.5 to 2.5 hectares scattered across remote regions, connected by a network of collectors, processors, traders, and exporters to the global market.
