Editorial illustrationSumatra
Sumatra is a major coffee-producing island in western Indonesia, where cultivation primarily occurs in volcanic highlands at altitudes typically ranging from 1,100 to 1,600 meters. The region is characterized by smallholder farms that often intercrop coffee with vegetables and fruits. A defining feature of the area is the traditional process, known locally as giling basah, which contributes to the coffee's signature full body and earthy flavor profile. These coffees are frequently noted for their low acidity and complex notes of dark chocolate, cedar, and tobacco.
