The Pure Sumatran Backstory
If Kenya is coffee’s bright, vivacious extrovert, Sumatra is its brooding, brilliant introvert—a speciality coffee of immense depth that rewards patience and an open mind. The coffee beans of Sumatra’s Aceh and Lintong growing regions are processed using the island’s distinctive wet-hulling method, known locally as Giling Basah, which helps create their unmistakable character.
In the cup, Pure Sumatran reveals layers of dark, earthy richness, giving way to cedar, tobacco and ripe berry with each successive sip.
