Sumatra Kerinci Natural
MEDIUM ROAST
This coffee is very different from any other Sumatran you’ve ever tasted. In fact, it doesn’t even taste like a natural process coffee! It's shockingly clean without any of the earth tones and only a whisper of spice. The chocolate is still there, but it’s much more of a sweet and gentle chocolate, much like cocoa powder. Most striking is the difference in acidity – wet hulled coffee is always very muted, but this natural process has a vibrant lime note! There are even hints of watermelon and strawberry, not enough to call this coffee a fruit bomb, but for a Sumatra, it's pretty unique. Finally, there’s a black tea undertone reminiscent of a washed Ethiopian coffee. All in all, this coffee is very unique and will completely change your perspective of what Sumatran coffee can taste like.
Sumatra‘s westernmost island is crossed by the equator, featuring landscapes of unparalleled beauty and wildlife as spectacular as one can imagine. This coffee comes from central Sumatra, from the region around Kerinci Seblat National Park. The area is home to a lush tropical rain forest and one of the Sumatran tiger‘s last strongholds. Mount Kerinci, the country‘s highest volcano with an elevation of 3,800 meters, dominates the scenery. Once adventurers climb the summit, they have fantastic views of forested valleys and a patchwork of verdant farmland. Encircling the mountain, smallholder farms in the Kerinci highlands benefit from high altitudes and fertile volcanic soil. Kerinci has obtained a reputation in the specialty coffee market thanks to its high quality.
