Sumatra Suku Batak

Single Origin

Similar to a big, jammy Petite Sirah red wine, our Sumatra Suku Batak offers an individual character in the cup, unlike no other origin. It is heavy bodied with mellow acidity, offering flavors of cedar, fresh earth, leather, and herbal nuance. The dark roast lends some sweet, syrupy caramelization to the finish.

Dark Roast

Our Story Another La Minita group trademarked coffee, the beans are grown in the Lintong province of North Sumatra, south of Lake Toba. It is a clean, double-picked, Grade 1 preparation. Sumatran coffees are in a league of their own. We would rate these coffees in the somewhat polarized, love / hate appeal category for single origins. At Alpen Sierra we love ’em. Take an adventure on the wild side with your morning cuppa!

French

Smoky-sweet and caramelized are the aromas wafting from this traditional blend. Heavy, but not charred, outer caramelization of the bean lends intensity to the cup, offering rich, roasty notes of dark chocolate and vanilla, enveloped in a syrupy body with a silky finish.

ROAST NOTES »

Italian

A premium coffee blend of excellent and delicious structure! The bright and winey character of an estate-grown Costa Rica Tarrazu greets the palate, transitioning into the full, sweet and intense flavor, as the blend reveals its qualities. Bittersweet chocolate, herbal nuance, spice and full body make this one of our best-selling blends.
