Indonesian Sumatra Overview: A Coffee Steeped in Tradition and Flavor
Sumatra, the largest of the Sunda Islands, is a tropical paradise nestled in the South Pacific. Known for its pristine jungles, azure seas, and world-class coffee, Sumatra is the fourth-largest coffee-producing region in the world, exporting over a billion pounds of coffee annually—roughly 65% of the world’s supply.
Indonesia itself is a vibrant tapestry of cultures, religions, and landscapes, ranging from remote jungle tribes to modern cities with towering skyscrapers. Coffee here is typically grown by small cooperatives, often family-owned farms with just a few acres and a hundred trees. These small-scale operations are the heart and soul of Sumatran coffee, preserving traditions that have been passed down for generations.
The Unique Flavor of Sumatran Coffee
Sumatran coffee’s distinctive flavor comes from a traditional processing method called Giling Basah (wet-hulling). This technique involves removing the coffee seeds from the cherries while they’re still moist, resulting in a coffee with earthy, chocolatey, and complex flavors.
Sumatra’s humid, tropical climate poses a unique challenge for coffee farmers. With only a few hours of dry weather each day, beans are dried to just 50% moisture content—far higher than the 12% to 15% typical in other regions. This high moisture level allows for a slight fermentation, which reduces acidity and brightness while enhancing earthy tones like wild mushroom, peat moss, herbs, and chocolate.
Once locally dried, the beans are transported to a facility for wet-hulling. Friction is used to complete the drying process and remove the beans’ protective parchment layer, further enhancing their fermentation and adding depth to their flavor. The result is a coffee with a complexity often compared to fine, aged scotch.
