Sumatra - Fair Trade Organic
Sumatra - Fair Trade Organic coffee, renowned for its distinct profile, is a premium choice among coffee connoisseurs in Canada. This coffee originates from the lush, volcanic soils of Sumatra, an Indonesian island known for its ideal coffee-growing conditions. As a Fair Trade product, it ensures ethical sourcing, supporting the welfare of local farmers and communities. The organic certification guarantees that the beans are cultivated without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, preserving both the environment and the coffee's natural flavour.
The taste profile of Sumatra - Fair Trade Organic coffee is remarkably rich and full-bodied. It features a low acidity, which is a signature characteristic of Indonesian coffees. The flavour notes are complex, often described as earthy, spicy, and with a subtle hint of herbal or woody undertones. The aroma is equally captivating, often reminiscent of cocoa or dried fruit, adding to the sensory experience.
The coffee beans are typically processed using a semi-washed or wet-hulled method, unique to the region. This processing contributes to the coffee's distinctive taste and heavy body. In Canada, this coffee is especially favoured during the colder months, providing a warming and comforting brew.
