Frank and Earnest Coffee - Sumatra - Aceh Tengah Organic

In the cup, look for a light fruit acidity, notes of red berries and dried fruits.

This coffee is produced by various growers who farm around the town of Aceh Tengah, close to Lake Laut Tawar in the far north-west of Sumatra. These small, family producers farm in the traditional way without the use of pesticides or chemicals. The Aceh Tengah area is fully certified organic and was received and processed separately by the mill to retain its organic status.

There are very few coffee estates or even co-ops in Sumatra. Instead, a huge number of tiny growers – farms rarely exceed 2 hectares – sell small quantities of coffee at their local village market and bargain hard for the best price for their semi-washed coffee.
