Readying for Southwest Chocolate and Coffee Festival

Roasting a batch of Orangutan Sumatra. It is not from Orangutan scat. It is a traditionally processed Coffee Arabica. The name comes from the efforts to preserve the Orangutan and Sumatra Leopards that allowed humans to farm their lands. This Sumatra is raised at 1600-2000 meters above sea level. The Island of Sumatra has competing agricultural interests with palm oil being predominate. The palm oil industry is fairly ruthlessly mono cropping where they can wiping out rain forest ecology when they ” develop” an area. The bean is roasted past first crack and is full-bodied even at this roast level.
