Product Description

From the scenic highland slopes of the Gayo Mountains near Laut Tawar in the Takengon region of Northern Sumatra, comes the exotically aromatic Takengon Sumatra coffee. There are over 200 small coffee producers who contribute to this very important OCIA certified organic coffee production. The farmers and communities of this remote region face a number of environmental and socio-economic challenges, including soil erosion, deforestation, low and unstable incomes. The organization, production, technical assistance and higher prices for certified organic coffee help these remote farmers by being able to generate a better income for themselves and improve the economic basis in the commmunities. The organic Sumatra Takengon semi-washed coffee is full bodied, slightly fruity, and clean with a sweet finish. This coffee is great as a varietal, blender and perfect for espresso. We are committed to providing only Fair Trade certified green coffee. Purchasing Fair Trade guarantees the growers were paid a fair and living wage for the coffee they labored to produce. All of the green coffee we sell was purchased in small lots of only the best quality arabica beans. This green coffee must be roasted before it can be made into a coffee beverage. We recommend roasting with a home coffee roasting appliance such as the FreshRoast Plus, also available from Seven Bridges Cooperative.

Customer Reviews

Riches from the Pacific islands
I am just about to get the deep, rich, complex coffee that I was after when I bought all this coffee equipment. I had read rave reviews about this coffee, and was disappointed, until I under-roasted a batch. This needs to be no more than Full City--any darker and it loses its varietal character and is just another cup of charbucks.

But at Full City, Wow! Depth, body, flavors I don't know how to describe. If you like a bright, "clean" cup in the morning, this is not for you. If you want the mystery of a night in the South Pacific in your cup, this is it.

And it's Fair Trade.
