About

This coffee is a half and half blend of our Organic Fair Trade Sumatra and our Organic Fair Trade, Swiss Water Process Sumatra Decaf. Both organically grown, chemical free coffees combine to form a rich and bold decaf coffee with no astringent decaf flavor. Heavy earthen and chocolate flavors are at the forefront of this delicious low caffeine offering.

Both components to this bold and flavorful half caf originate in the Aceh region of Sumatra and are grown in lush shade cover and organic soil. From start to finish, both coffees are meticulously grown and cared for and suppliers pay premiums for the Fair Trade and RFA certifications. These premiums help to benefit the local community infrastructure and help to maintain health and educational standards.

Timeline

Harvest and export times are based off when a particular coffee will be at its peak quality. Cherries picked at the start of the harvest season tend to be underdeveloped, and those picked at the end are often overdeveloped, so producers aim for that sweet spot in the middle.

Harvest

Sept - May

Export

Jan - Dec
Farmers pick coffee cherries in Sumatra, Indonesia.

Sumatra

Aceh is the westernmost region of the Indonesian island of Sumatra where coffee farms abound. The combination of high elevation and volcanic soil make for coffees that are rich and lower in acidity with notes of nutty dark chocolate. In the Takengon Highlands is a cooperative that honors Sumatran coffee traditions while moving forward with a focus on female empowerment and success.
