Pure Sumatran – 1kg Coffee Beans – single-origin

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 the drinker who approaches it with patience and an open mind. The coffee beans of Sumatra’s Aceh and Lintong growing regions are processed by the island’s unique wet-hulling method, known locally as Giling Basah, a technique that results in a flavour profile unlike anything produced anywhere else on earth. In the cup, Pure Sumatran is a journey rather than a destination: dark, earthy richness gives way to cedar, tobacco, and ripe berry in ways that shift with each successive sip. Available as whole coffee beans for those who want maximum freshness from their grind coffee, and as grind coffee in our portion-controlled sachets and 227gm bags. Whether enjoyed as a commanding black coffee americano, a dark mocha with chocolate, a rich latte, or a deeply atmospheric cortado coffee, Pure Sumatran is a speciality coffee of serious intent for serious drinkers.

Coffee Flavour
Flavours of dark cacao, cedar, tobacco, ripe berry, and a resinous earthiness that shifts with each successive sip.

Coffee Body
A full, syrupy, almost chewable body – low acidity and entirely without parallel among the world’s single-origin coffee beans.

Coffee Texture
Thick and resinous, with a mouthfeel that coats the palate in dark, wet-earth complexity and lingers long after.

Coffee Palate
A long, resinous finish of cedar and dark earth that clings with the tenacity of great Sumatran wet-hulled coffee at its best.

Storage Recommendation

The Pure Sumatran stays fresher longer when:

• Store Pure Sumatran coffee beans airtight, cool, and dark – the wet-hulled character is uniquely sensitive to air and oxidation.

• Grind coffee sachets maintain the dark roast character well – keep sealed and use within four weeks of opening.

• Brew with water at 93-95°C to unlock the full depth of these extraordinary Indonesian coffee beans.
