This Sumatra Takengon Grade 1 double-picked coffee is sourced from the Jagong Mill, and the surrounding family-owned farms located in the Takengon and Atu Lintang coffee region of Aceh province on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia. Irham Junus owns and operates the Jagong Mill with his son, Andi and daughter, Ina. The Junus family has focused on meticulous ripe cherry selection resulting in something truly unique in Sumatra. The Junus family also has full control of the processing and milling right up to the final export stage, avoiding the long and convoluted supply lines that can compromise Sumatran quality.
This coffee is processed by a meticulous wet-hulled method following international standards, and is certified organic by a Dutch agency. It is “double-picked,” meaning the coffee cherries are hand-sorted twice. This helps ensure fewer defects, and a cleaner, brighter cup profile than most.
