How it sits among coffee from Indonesia

How often roasters use each flavour family to describe coffee from Indonesia: 142 of 189 carry notes. The dashed outline is the whole catalogue. These are the roasters’ own words, grouped — not our tasting, and not a measurement.

Forth Coffee Roasters describe this coffee as chocolate, spice, tea-like, winey, earthy. The filled shape is how often roasters use each family across coffee from Indonesia; the rings on the rim are this coffee’s own.

winey and tea-like are unusual here — 7% of coffee from Indonesia are described that way, and 15% of coffee from Indonesia are described that way.

What the roaster says about where it came from

Country

Indonesia

Region

Sumatra

Process

wet hulled

Not stated

farm or estate, producer, variety, altitude, harvest, lot, importer, price paid to the producer

We report what the roaster publishes and we have not checked any of it independently. A fact nobody publishes is not a fault of the coffee: almost no roaster in the UK states an importer or the price paid to the producer.

Where each fact came from

Acidity

“The coffee has a low acidity and a richness that lingers on the back corners on your tongue.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Body

“Giling Basah The natural drying method used in its production results in a very full body with a concentrated flavor, garnished with herbal nuances and a spicy finish.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Fairtrade certification

“Our main suppliers of FTO Sumatra, KSU Adil Wiladah Mabrur and Koperasi Gayo Mandiri, have used Fair Trade premiums to purchase agricultural tools (weed cutters, machetes, shovels and saws), and invest in environmental education and training (erosion, soil conservation and disposal of waste).” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

“Cup characteristics: Strong cedar notes, consistent, balanced, sweet tobacco, winey, spicy, chocolate.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

Taken from the roaster’s own pages, and nothing here has been verified by us or by an independent body. What we store is a passage of page text cut around the fact, so one shown with an ellipsis is a passage we cannot see the start or the end of; only the fully quoted ones are complete sentences.
