Full-bodied and rich, from the Sumatran rainforest. The Koperasi Pedagang Kopi Ketiara is a women-run cooperative that has over 890 grower-members. The Ketiara Cooperative was started in 2008 by Ibu Rahmah, the current chairwoman, who had operated and managed her family’s coffee business for 20 years — purchasing cherries, processing the green, and selling to local traders. The passion and commitment of the women managers to have all members working together in support of coffee production has enabled Ketiara to expand and become an important supplier to larger coffee traders in Medan, the capital of North Sumatra. The cooperative members voted to become Organic and Fair Trade certified in 2012, making a commitment to use these proceeds to create programs for health, education, and public infrastructure projects that will benefit all coop members.

My Favorite Coffee

Never was much of a coffee drinker, till I discovered Indonesia Sumatra. So rich and flavorful, it's the perfect way to start every day. Always worth the investment in such a lively and aromatic coffee blend.

Incredible

Sumatra is one of my favorite single-origins (the other is Brazil), and this Beans & Beans coffee reminds me why. Honestly, I was skeptical when I opened the bag because I'm used to Sumatra that is roasted slightly darker. Well, I became a convert after I brewed some (I made an Americano) and drank it. It's important to note/remember that coffee from Sumatra is very different than non-Indonesian coffees. Sumatra coffee has a very heavy body typical of dark roasts WITHOUT THE BITTERNESS of dark roasts. It has low acidity (aka "brightness. ") The sweetness is muted.

Really good. Has a nice nutty flavor. I might need to keep some of this in stock as one of my primaries that I cycle through.

Delicious coffee from ethical practice

How a business conducts itself in the world is important to me. And Bean and Bean fill the bill. To top off Bean and Beans great ethics, their coffee is very good and I will be buying it again. And again.

Coffee flavor profile was just

Coffee flavor profile was just as described. Unfortunately for me it was a bit on the milder side for a medium roast,but was delicious regardless.

My current favorite!

I make my coffee in a French Press with the proportions by weight recommended on the package leaning slightly towards a tiny bit extra coffee beans, which makes for an almost perfectly balanced cup of coffee. I love the flavor of this coffee. Rich, complex layers of coffee with a very satisfying finish. Great way to start the day.

It’s too acidic and light in flavor. It also has a bitter/stale kind of finish. Not at all like a Sumatra coffee I’m used to.

My flavor

This type of coffee is exactly the flavor I've been looking for all these years. Strong but not sour. Tasty. The coffee flavor makes you realize that you are drinking coffee.

Finally

After trying out all sorts of coffee types that would make my morning French press taste like real coffee and being disappointed by most of them, I've finally discovered the familiar old flavor. It happens to be Indonesia Sumatra. Not too bitter, not too sour. Just good old coffee-tasting coffee.

Check it Out!

Surprisingly good- I have been a Downtown Blend supporter forever & decided to try the bundle (it’s a new year, after all :relaxed:️). Left the Indonesia Sumatra till the end, thinking it’d be my least favorite. Instead, I’m enjoying a pleasantly complex coffee that leaves me savoring every cup as I start my day.

My first purchase favorite, Sumatra

Tried whole bean for both pour over and auto drip experiences. Each cup of Indonesia Sumatra has been dreamlike, complex and bright in flavor. The perfect roast and super fresh. Will buy again.

As always, the coffee is

As always, the coffee is just wonderful! I've never been disappointed. Thanks for always fueling me - whether it was in person at the Wall St location back in the days or throughout the pandemic with your coffee, I just adore my Bean & Bean! :)
