AWI COFFEE ROASTERY - Kopi Sidikalang

your first sip of awi's sidikalang tells you everything about north sumatra's volcanic soil. they work exclusively with wet-hulled beans from the mandailing highlands, where coffee grows thick and earthy at 1,200 meters. the cup hits heavy, almost syrupy, with that distinctive herbal bite only sumatran processing delivers. when they roast gayo beans from aceh, the smell alone fills their medan warehouse with notes of dark chocolate and wet earth. this isn't polite coffee. it's bold, unapologetic indonesian tradition in a cup.
