Blind Assessment
Deep, complex, pungent. Sweetly tart grapefruit and enveloping fresh-turned, moist earth in aroma and cup, with grace notes ranging from flowers to cedar. Rich acidity, lightly syrupy mouthfeel. The grapefruit and earth notes carry deep into the 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
A superb Sumatra; a wonderful introduction to this unorthodox type for those who don’t know it and a revelation for those who only know the sharply musty variety.
