Description
A nice, fresh and tasty aggregate production coffee.
Sourced from 3000 coffee producers located near the shores of Lake Toba (formed from a supervolcano) in the province of North Sumatra. On average, producers cultivate coffee on 2.5 acres of land using their own micro-mills to depulp and dry coffee. Yudi Putra is a family-owned export company that collaborates with farmers to access the international coffee markets, ensuring greater earnings from direct trade relationships.
Tasting Notes: Full bodied with a creamy mouthfeel, low acidity and spot on tastes from a traditional Mandheling Sumatra; peat moss, smoky, chocolaty; an earthier terroir, on the strong side, stout like. A nice medium to dark roast coffee, gives a smoother mouthfeel and has a bit of sweetness upfront, darker roasts will turn thicker but also edgier and promote the smokier side of the profile. Great for fuller roasting single origin drinking or a base to a strong and chocolaty blend.
Roasting Notes: As with most Sumatra coffees, the processing promotes a couple different shades in the roaster. It is normal to see some beans lighter than others. Make sure if shooting for the medium roasts, that you judge it from the lighter looking beans, important to get them all through first crack. When roasting darker, judge it by the darker looking beans for if they get too dark or burn, gets a little ashy tone in the cup.
