Indonesia

Region

Aceh

Process

washed, 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.

“The result is a cup with: Heavier mouthfeel and syrupy body Lower, softer acidity Earthy, savoury complexity with subtle spice and herbal notes It’s a labour‑intensive process and one tied to Indonesia’s climate and history, but it creates a coffee experience like no other.” the roaster’s page (opens in a new tab)

A further 1 fact on this page was read from part of the shop page that holds no sentence — a menu or a product grid — so there is nothing to quote for it.

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.
