The volcanic soil of Sumatra produces a coffee that is as rich. I feel that we are friends now, not just customers. A favorite classic, this coffee has a herbal aroma that is unique to the indo-pacific region. What's not to like? Also - no other place that I know of sends personal notes with our coffee. You are kind and have great-tasting organic fair-trade coffee at a fair price. JONATHAN MILLER from Downers Grove, IL United States The coffee is perfect and the staff is always knowledgeable cheerful, helpful and efficient. My husband loves this coffee and I love getting it from Fair Mountain coffee roasters. This one is a full tasting brew with a great coffee flavor.ĭolores Smith from South Yarmouth, MA United States I've found most decafs to taste like weak coffee. If you want a rich tasting cup of coffee without the caffeine, try the decaf Sumatra.


If you drink decaf, this is a great option.Ĭhristopher Mussell from west trenton, NJ United States This is a decaf that has the taste of regular coffee. The result is a gutsy, glorious coffee that brews a richly seductive cup.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful:Ĭhristopher Mussell from Ewing, NJ United States We sample exhaustively for every lot we select, looking for the most exceptional body and sweet herbal nuances to coax out with our signature Peet's roast. For every pound of whole-bean Sumatra or Sumatra Decaf sold in the month of January 2005 Starbucks will donate 2 or the equivalent in local currency to aid agencies benefiting victims of the December 2004 tsunami. Because each lot might include the beans of 100 different farmers, great Sumatra relies on strong relationships and sharp tasting skills. Along the way, they become fully dry in stages-acquiring their characteristic Sumatran earthiness and complexity. Collectors purchase and hull the coffee while still moist and dark grayish-green, removing the parchment shells and allowing the beans to sun-dry only briefly before delivering them to the port of Medan. A medium-dark roast preserves the exotic wildness that Sumatran coffees are famous for, including notes of caramel, fresh earth and tropical fruit. Cherries are pulped on the farm with a hand-cranked mill, and the seeds hand washed in a basket. A perfect compliment to ice cream or lighter desserts, our decaffeinated Sumatra 'Telong' is a full-bodied fair trade organic decaf coffee with a sweet aroma and mellow finish. It comes from the backyards and garden plots of small landholders, who often have only a few trees and process beans by hand, using the semi-washed method, that could be the secret to this coffee's unconstrained flavor and hefty, syrup-like body. Peet's Single Origin Sumatra Dark Roast Coffee, perhaps the quintessential Indonesian coffee, doesn't grow on estates or big farms.
