Trader Joe's Fair Trade Organic Sumatra Whole Bean Coffee, 13 oz.

Trader Joe's Fair Trade Organic Sumatra Whole Bean Coffee, 13 oz.

One of the more than 13,000 islands that form Indonesia, Sumatra leads the country’s coffee production. Divided by the volcanic Barisan mountain range that is greater than 12,400 feet at its peak, the topography and humid climate are well suited for coffee cultivation.

Small family farmers grow the 100% Arabica beans for Trader Joe’s Fair Trade Organic Sumatra Coffee among fruit trees in the northern region of the island. The beans are picked, washed, and pulped by hand, using the distinctive “wet-hulling” process. This unique production method, known in Indonesia as Giling Basah, contributes to the signature characteristics of Sumatra coffee: full bodied, lower acidity, and bold, earthy flavors. The beans are given a medium-dark roast to accentuate tasting notes of dried fruit and molasses in every sip.

Not only can a cup of Trader Joe’s Fair Trade Organic Sumatra positively impact the start of your day, because of it’s Fair Trade certification, each bag supports small farmers through fair prices. So, go ahead, brew yourself a mug—it works exceptionally well with drip, pour over, French press, and espresso brewing methods.
