This is a USDA Organic medium roast made from 100% Arabica beans grown in Northern Sumatra by a cooperative of 890 growers, most of them women. It is a bold, full-bodied cup with earthy, peppery and chocolate notes and a long chocolate finish, and it is deliberately low in acidity. That makes it a good fit for dark-roast and French-press drinkers who find bright African and Central American coffees too sharp. Against typical Sumatran rivals it stands out on the organic certification and the cooperative sourcing rather than on roast novelty; the vegetal, earthy edge is the regional signature some drinkers love and others do not.
