This coffee is from the Aceh region of Sumatra, Indonesia, grown at 1650 meters altitude by smallholder producers. It is a naturally processed coffee featuring a blend of Catimor, Timtim, Bourbon, Ateng Super, and P-88 varieties. The coffee offers tasting notes of boozy, dried strawberries, and floral characteristics with side notes of milk chocolate. The natural processing involves handpicking for prime ripeness and a 15-20 day drying process with agitation to prevent over-fermentation.
