Semi-washed Sumatra with triple-picked cherry—earthy notes without the swamp.
We keep it on the list for Clever and French-press people who want depth without grit. If you only drink light Ethiopians, this is your plot twist.
- Triple-picked cherry
- Semi-washed
- Immersion-friendly
Provenance & cup
Highland Sumatra, uniform ripeness enforced by three passes through the trees—boring on the farm, magic in the cup. Semi-washed keeps cocoa and cedar honest; without triple pick you get compost notes instead of chocolate. Roughly 1,950–2,200 m; we roast for immersion lovers who still read the newspaper.
Sensory & service
Cocoa powder, cedar closet, low-toned molasses sweetness. Acidity whispers; body shouts—in a good way. Finish is long and dry, like 85% dark chocolate. We recommend tasting filter-first to map acidity and sweetness before exploring espresso service—our roast is tuned to reward precise brew ratios and filtered water in the 90–110 ppm TDS range.

Dialed in nicely after one tweak
I brewed Sumatra triple-picked twice before writing this. First cup was already good; a slightly finer grind made it click. Cocoa powder, cedar closet, low-toned molasses sweetness The finish stayed tidy as it cooled.

Clear cup, easy to serve to guests
Served Sumatra triple-picked to guests over Immersion / Filter and it was easy to explain in the cup. The notes were readable without feeling forced. I’d reorder this for small dinners.

Good lot with real personality
Sumatra triple-picked has real character but still behaves predictably. It didn’t need dramatic dialing in, just normal adjustments. Pleasantly surprised by how clean the cup stayed.
