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.

Roasting vintage coffee
Today I am roasting Honduras ” Paca Vita” organically grown Arabica from the 2015-16 crop.
This bean has been stored since 2019 by me and I want to move it along for sale. This roast cycle is hedging on the lighter roast side – so first crack only. Mild flavor low acidity, typical Honduran terroir. Unsweetened cocoa and black tea overtones cocoa at the beginning tea like at the end of each sip.
