INDONESIA SUMATRA ORANGUTAN

In the Gayo Highlands in northern Sumatra, smallholder farmers grow coffee under strict orangutan protection guidelines. They commit to avoiding agrochemicals and protecting the rainforest, its animals and its flora. In return, these families receive a premium for every kilo of green coffee they produce. An additional premium supports the Sumatra Orangutan Conservation Program, which works with the Indonesian government to protect the Sumatran orangutans.

brewing recommendations

For the best experience, use one of the recommended brewing methods:

Moka pot

espresso machine

Automatic coffee machine

French press

Marzocco

espresso machine

Here is a recommendation for preparing this coffee with an espresso machine:

● Grind Size: Fine, almost like powdered sugar. Dark roasts are less dense, so a finer grind will help extract more flavor.
● Dosage: Aim for about 18-20 grams for a double shot.
● Water Temperature: Around 200°F (93°C). Dark roasts do well with slightly lower temperatures to avoid over-extraction.
● Extraction Time: Aim for a 25-30 second extraction for a balanced espresso.
● Tips: Preheat your cup to maintain the coffee's temperature. For dark roasts, avoid over-extracting as it may emphasize bitter flavors.

dosage:

For a double shot, use about 18-20 grams. Adjust as needed to achieve a stronger or milder flavor.

water temperature:

Set the temperature to around 200°F (93°C). This temperature is ideal for extracting the rich flavors of this coffee without overemphasizing the bitterness.

extraction time:

Aim for an extraction of 25-30 seconds. This time frame will help balance the flavors and bring out the notes of panettone, clove and dark chocolate.

tips:

Preheat your cup to preserve the warmth of the coffee. Since this blend contains dark roasted beans, avoid over-extraction as this could make the taste overly bitter.

This approach emphasizes the coffee's full-bodied sweetness and complex flavor profile, creating a rich, well-rounded espresso shot.
