indonesia + sumatra coffee
by sea island coffee · london, uk
this is green wild kopi luwak, northern sumatra - indonesia, a washed indonesia + sumatra from sea island coffee.
no specific tasting notes have been provided for this coffee, so it is not possible to describe the cup profile with certainty. as a washed sumatran kopi luwak, the enzymatic process during digestion and the clean washed preparation typically produce a smoother, lower-acidity cup, but you should roast a small test batch first to assess your own results.
the coffee is wild kopi luwak from northern sumatra, meaning civets forage freely and selectively consume ripe coffee cherries. after the beans are collected, they are processed using a washed method, which involves removing all fruit pulp and fermenting the beans before drying, producing a cleaner result than traditional wet-hulled sumatran processing.
this coffee is sold green and unroasted, so you must roast it at home before brewing. no specific brew method or roast level is listed, so start with a medium roast to preserve clarity from the washed process, then experiment with a method that suits your preference once you have assessed the flavour after roasting.
sea island coffee roasts with intention, and you can feel that in every cup before you've even finished it. old brompton road isn't the kind of street that rewards half-measures, and this place seems to know that. independent roasters in london live or die by repeat custom, and the loyalty sea island has built says more than any single visit could. what keeps people coming back isn't novelty. it's consistency, the quiet confidence of a roaster that has figured out what it's doing and sees no reason to overcorrect. if you're in sw5 with time to spare, the morning filter is where to start.
