Description

I’ll enjoy a good strong dark mug of any Sumatran coffee you throw at me, but this one is cleaner tasting and more complex than the Mandheling we normally carry. Takengon is a village in Aceh by Lake Toba, and the coffee was grown by a fair trade organic co-op known as Kopsen Sepakat Gergung. Coffee is the primary source of income for the farmers in the co-op. With this Sumatra, I like to take it just as dark as normal. It can really take the heat. It comes out with savory pine needle notes, dark chocolate, nutmeg. In slightly lighter roasts, you might pick out some amaretto and very slight berry notes. You can stop this roast at second cracks to get the most sweetness and acidity. But we give it about 40 seconds of 2nd cracks to give it that rich Indonesian character. Organic and fair trade certified. US Arrival September 2026
