Cup of Excellence winner Asman Arianto is behind this outstanding coffee from Aceh, Sumatra. Aceh is a region in northern Sumatra and is home to the Barisan Mountains as well as Lake Taboa, the largest volcanic lake in the world. Coffees here are grown in the rainforest covering the mountains. The region is very geographically diverse, and 95% of coffees are grown by smallholder farmers - the average farm size is 2.5 acres. Unlike most Sumatran coffees, this coffee is a washed process, and the results are clear to see in the cup - pleasant medium acidity accompanying balanced notes of hibiscus, dried fruit, and citrus. We hope that this is a harbinger of more great coffees to come from Sumatra.
