Local, small batch roasted, veteran owned, Model Citizen Coffee Company's Indonesian Sumatra is grown near Lake Tawar. Indonesian coffee, Sumatran precisely, is a bold coffee. It has body, depth, and an earthy, tobacco-like, flavor. The coffee is known to be low in acidity and rather smooth. It is a love/hate coffee - either you love it, or you hate it. This particular organic Sumatran coffee is grown by family owned farms of 1-2 hectares. It's a classic wet-hulled Sumatran coffee. Gayo coffees are usually semi-washed, which means that the parchment is hulled while still having a very high moisture content, and sun-dried on patios, this gives Aceh coffees their unique, earthy yet pleasant flavor. We roast this one medium to bring about the earthy flavor.
Fun fact: Indonesia, at one point, was the largest coffee producer in the world. The coffee was exported from the island of Java - and that is how the coffee name “java” was born.
