Sumatra
Very full body, very concentrated flavor. Sweet, slightly earthy, herbal nuances with a gutsy richness. A favorite of Peet's customers for years. Also available in decaf.
Sumatra is another classic Indonesian coffee but totally different from Java. Java's coffees are grown on estates and processed by the washed method; Sumatra's coffees are grown by small landholders who may only have a few trees on their property, and they are processed by the dry method. The ripe coffee cherries are pulped by hand and spread in the sun to dry rather than being rinsed in water overnight. The net result of dry-processed coffee is very heavy body and very full flavor. In the case of Sumatra, the flavors are sweet and somewhat earthy with pronounced herbal nuances.
Sumatra is one of our best-selling coffees, and it's not hard to understand why. The complex flavors and full body brought out by Peet's roast make an exceptional cup. It's not the most refined or elegant coffee you can drink, but its gutsy and earthy richness is very seductive.
