COFFEE PROFILE
Heavy bodied and intensely complex and aromatic. There is a lot of caramel and fruit in both the aroma and flavor. The decaf Tempesi Sumatra has a lasting finish with a hint of that classic Sumatran earthiness.

GEOGRAPHIC PROFILE
Sumatra anchors the western most reach of the Malay Archipelago at 800-1500m (2625-4925ft) above sea level. Positioned directly on the equator, it is the fourth largest island in the world. Most of the coffee in Sumatra is produced by small holders from tiny plots scattered over high-terraced plateaus of clay. The coffee is grown without shade and without any chemicals. Whether the soil and climate or the primitive processing methods are responsible, the qualities of Sumatran coffees are truly unique. Each farmer takes full responsibility for the initial stages of processing their small crops. They remove the skin of the cherry with hand-operated backyard milling machines and allow the pulp-covered beans to ferment overnight. In the morning, the beans are hand washed and then allowed to dry on clay or canvas sheets in their front yards. Parchment removal and a second drying are done at a middleman’s warehouse, and a third drying and sorting is done at the port of Medan before shipping
