this is a sumatra mandheling and permata gayo blend from quantum coffee roasters, sourced from the indonesian island of sumatra and grown from bourbon varietal plants. sumatran coffees are typically processed using the wet-hulling method, which contributes to the distinctly earthy and herbal character here alongside flavours of red apple, caramel, milk chocolate, and dark chocolate. the cup is full-bodied and low in brightness, making it well suited to brewing methods that emphasise weight and texture, such as french press, moka pot, or espresso. grind coarser for immersion brews to avoid over-extraction of the earthy notes.
