FARMER BREWS ROASTERY

your first sip of farmer brews' sumatran mandheling hits different than the tourist trap lattes down the road. they're pulling beans from aceh's gayo highlands, wet-hulling them the traditional way that gives indonesian coffee that earthy, full-bodied punch. the roastery smells like burnt sugar and wet earth when you walk in. owner made his reputation on java beans that taste like the volcanic soil they grew in. no fancy equipment, just beans that know where they came from.
