The traditional Giling Basah (wet-hulled) process unique to Sumatra creates its signature full body and low acidity. Medium-dark roast balances earthy depth with sweet spice.

Is this coffee low in acidity?

Yes — gentle, low acidity makes it ideal for those who find bright coffees too sharp. Smooth and easy on the stomach.

Can I use this for espresso?

Absolutely — rich chocolate notes and a syrupy body. Particularly stunning in milk-based drinks where the dark chocolate and spice shine through.
