De Droom Coffee Roaster

you can smell de droom's wet-hulled sumatra gayo before you even step inside their jakarta roastery. the earthy, almost mossy scent hits different than your typical washed beans. owner denny's been working with the same farmers in aceh for six years, and it shows in every cup. that distinctive indonesian processing creates this wild, syrupy body that coats your tongue. the mandheling especially tastes like dark chocolate mixed with forest floor. not for coffee purists, but absolutely essential drinking.
