Sumatra Bener Meriah CSC Abyssinia and Typica - MEDIUM roast

From the Bener Meriah regency in Aceh, Sumatra, this estate-grown coffee sits at 1,300–1,400 meters and combines Abyssinia and Typica varietals for genetic clarity rare in the region. The wet-hulled (giling basah) processing—depulping, 12-hour fermentation, mechanical hulling at precise moisture, then patio drying—delivers the signature heft and minerality of traditional Sumatran technique but with unusual cleanliness and sweetness. Expect a dense body with blood orange, five spice, and lavender notes; the medium roast amplifies spice while maintaining those floral, citrus threads. CSC's 100-hectare estate control over harvest and post-harvest sets this apart from the typical smallholder blends dominating Aceh—it's the highest-scoring Sumatra ever cupped by Royal Coffee, their importer.
