Coffees from Sumatra are known for smooth, sweet body that is balanced and intense. Depending on the region, or blend of regions, the flavours of the land and processing can be very pronounced. Notes of cocoa, tobacco, smoke, earth and cedar wood can show well in the cup. Occasionally, Sumatran coffees can show greater acidity, which balances the body. This acidity takes on tropical fruit notes and sometimes an impression of grapefruit or lime.
Gayo is a region on the hillsides surrounding the town of Takengon and Lake Tawar, at the northern tip of Sumatra, in the region of Aceh. The altitude in the production area averages between 1,110 and 1,600 meters. The coffee is grown by smallholders under shade trees.
This South Coast Blend was personally picked with Ontario’s South Coast in mind, Norfolk County. Simple, beautiful, and just amazing. All four beans that make this blend are single sourced and organic and roasted to perfection. This bean is perfect for your early morning. So wake up and soak in those early morning South Coast views.
What does Certified Fairtrade Organic coffee mean?
- Coffee farmers are able to provide for their families due to being paid a guaranteed minimum fair price for their beans.
- Helps create a sustainable industry that coffee farmers can rely on.
- Community projects are supported through the fairtrade system
- Provides the means for farmers to break free from middlemen that have traditionally held all the power over the farmers, often paying very little for crops, breaking promises, and taking future crops to pay the farmer more than the little being paid for current crops.
