Our Sumatran coffee is renowned for its complex flavours and aromas.

The earthy, spicy, and wild aroma captivates the senses, evoking images of the lush rainforests where the coffee is cultivated.

This coffee boasts a full-bodied profile that envelops the palate, leaving a lingering, satisfying finish. Despite its bold flavours, our Sumatran coffee maintains a low acidity, making it an ideal choice for those who prefer a smooth and mellow cup.

By choosing our Certified Fairtrade Organic Sumatran coffee, you're not only indulging in a truly exceptional coffee experience but also supporting sustainable farming practices and community development in the Village of Pondok Ulung. Each cup is a celebration of the unique terroir and cultural heritage of this remarkable region.

The Swiss Water Process removes caffeine by gently soaking green beans in a water solution for just over 8 hour. The solution absorbs caffeine from the beans, and is then repeatedly carbon filtered until 99.9% of the caffeine is removed. The beans are then dried, and we roast them to our usual level of perfection for full flavour.

There's other methods. They include the Direct-Solvent Process, Indirect-Solvent Process, and Carbon Dioxide Process. These processes use chemicals like methylene chloride and ethyl acetate, or steps involving pressurized liquid carbon dioxide.

Some folks shy away from Decaf coffees, and we can understand. Their beans may not have been optimal, they may have been soaked in chemicals and stripped of their goodness. But our intention with Decaf coffee has been to supply the best, full-tasting coffee, with the caffeine removed in a manner that makes the flavour incredible.
