SOM (Single Origin of the Month)

The Single Origin of the Month will focus on promoting a different coffee farm/producer each month. This City Roast profile will highlight the notes and flavors of the beans that each farmer expects in every cup.

This months offering is from Sumatra (Indonesia)

Indonesia is the fourth largest exporter of coffee in the world. It is a large chain of islands that has different varieties of coffee ranging from Robusta to specialty Arabica. Sumatra is one of the most famous of these islands and produces many specialty coffees. This Sumatra is a grade one double picked  coffee and is one of the more universally popular coffees from the Indonesian archipelago . Its strong aroma and mild bitterness make a wonderful cup of coffee. It has an array of earthy spices that mix agreeably with a syrupy body and notes of dark chocolate, caramels and black tea. We invite you to try this coffee as it is one of our favorites.
