We’ve been fine tuning this roast for a little while, and we think we’ve finally gotten it perfect!\u00a0 Our Sumatra comes from Mandheling, known for its flavorful and high quality beans.<\/p>\n

Processing<\/h4>\n

Sumatra Espresso is a wet-hulled process.\u00a0 This kind of processing is rarely done outside Indonesia.\u00a0 That’s because Indonesia’s climate is so rainy and humid that other processing methods, which usually involve drying the beans on the farm, are not feasible.\u00a0 Instead, the farmers pick the cherries and run them through a de-pulper that removes the skin.\u00a0 Next they ferment the beans overnight to break down the fruit.\u00a0 Then they dry the coffee to just 50% moisture content before sending it to the coffee mill.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

At the mill, they dry the coffee a little more and then send it through a wet huller to remove the parchment layer around the bean.\u00a0 Finally, the coffee is air dried to 12% moisture and is ready to sell.\u00a0 Wet hull processing gives the beans their classic Sumatra funk and low acidity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Roast Level<\/h4>\n

Golden Bean Sumatra is a Full City Roast.\u00a0 Full City Roasts are a level of medium roast that we pull out of the roaster when the beans are about the color of dark chocolate.\u00a0 We find this roast level best brings out the Sumatra’s depth and sweetness.<\/p>\n

Traceability<\/h4>\n

Sumatra Espresso is fully traceable.<\/p>\n
