This is a Sumatra Organic Dark Roast Coffee from Indonesia, grown in nutrient-rich volcanic soil in the lush highlands. The coffee undergoes the traditional wet-hulling (giling basah) process—a method used exclusively in this region. The beans are slow-roasted at low temperature to develop deep, complex flavors. Tasting notes include fine leather, tobacco, dried fruit, wine, and brown sugar, with aromatics of earth, cocoa, and spice. The coffee has low acidity, full body, and a smooth, velvety finish.

Blind Dog Coffee was founded in 2007 by Mark Berry in Gardnerville, Nevada. Mark developed cancer as a young child that ultimately threatened his eyesight, and by age 49 he became legally blind, ending a 30 year career and prompting him to learn professional coffee roasting. The roastery uses 100% USDA Certified Organic beans with a GMO free, no additives guarantee, and sources ethically in support of fair labour practices. A portion of all proceeds goes to the Northern Nevada Children's Cancer Foundation, reflecting Mark's personal connection to childhood cancer. The business operates a roastery headquarters in Gardnerville alongside a coffee shop and café in nearby Minden.
