The Short Version

Sumatra Takengon “Golden Gayo” At A Glance

Origin

Takengon, Aceh, Sumatra

Process

Wet hulling

From the Takengon highlands of northern Aceh, grown at high altitude. The cooperatives here are run mainly by women of the Gayonese ethnic group. Dark roasted, which brings out semi-sweet chocolate, pine nuts and strong pipe tobacco, with sweetness and lively citrus arriving as the cup cools.

Provenance

Where It Comes From

Lost Dutchman Coffee Roasters product range

Located in the Takengon highlands of the northern Aceh province on the island of Sumatra. This is a premium Sumatran coffee grown at high altitudes. The Takengon cooperatives are run mainly by women from the Gayoneese ethnic group because many of the men were killed or exiled during the “Free Ache Movement” that actively resisted Indonesian government control until as recently as 2005. The movement actually has its roots going back to the 18th century when Dutch colonialism ruled the day.

This is a special dark roasted coffee which we feel brings out semi-sweet chocolate, pine nuts, and strong notes of pipe tobacco. Sweetness and lively citrus character present themselves as the cup cools. A very elegant coffee.

Before You Order

Questions

Orders are typically shipped the same day they are roasted. So, it comes down to how fast the Post Office is. They advertise “from 1-5 business days depending on which state you’re located in.” You’ll receive tracking information via email so you can track the package’s progress.

It’s best not to grind the beans until you’re ready to use them, so grind just before you brew. Match the grind to your brewer: coarse for French press, Medium for most drip brewers. For pour overs: Medium to coarse, whichever gives you a four minute brew time (in general). Fine to very fine for espresso depending on your equipment.

Keep it in the bag it came in and put a rubber band around it. Glass containers are not great as the idea is to minimize the air (oxygen) around the beans. Unless completely full, glass containers have too much head room. If storing for up to several months, freezing is a good idea as long as the beans are completely sealed (like in the bags they come in). Studies have shown time and again that freezing, if done right, is a good option.

Currently, subscriptions are limited to a mix of single origin varietals and blends. A single coffee type for the length of the subscription is not an option. You can see how it works on the Coffee Club page.
