About the bean
In the cup, we went for a Full City roast and alternated between French press and Americano. It’s becoming pretty apparent that we’re Americano addicts! Both this method and the V60 produced an intense coffee, heavy body, and creamy texture—hmmm! At a Full City roast, expect a dense and smoky profile with the Sumatra’s sweet brightness less pronounced. At a City profile, smooth and sweet moved to the fore with density intact and acidity ticking to medium.
Tobacco. Cedar. Dark Chocolate. Bright Acidity. Well Balanced. Clean Finish.

Beyond the Bean
Sumatra’s Giling Basah wet-hulling method delivers an iconic flavour profile: spicy, earthy, bold bodied, and less acidic than most (which also results in a peculiar, albeit legendary porous blue-green appearance for raw beans). The country’s regional distinctions add layers of complexity, with the classic Mandheling serving up a rich chocolate-spice character.
