Blind Assessment
Refined earth tones turn berry- and orange-toned fruit deep and pungent. Richly tart, well-integrated acidity, lightly syrupy mouthfeel. The pungent fruit carries into a long, resonant finish.
Notes
Coffees from the northern part of the Indonesian island of Sumatra are admired for their complex earth, fruit and aromatic wood notes that result largely from unorthodox fruit removal and drying practices called “wet hulling.” This coffee is a particularly refined example of the type. Temple Coffee is a quality-focused retail and wholesale specialty roaster active in Sacramento, California since 2005. Committed to sourcing, roasting and brewing the finest coffees, Temple features coffee from distinguished single estates and cooperatives around the world. Visit
Who Should Drink It
Elegant yet uncompromising in its Sumatra-ness, should appeal to lovers of the origin as well as making a good starter Sumatra for those purists resistant to the style.
