Union Roasted Coffee's Gajah Mountain Sumatra Wholebean is a high-quality coffee sourced from the Aceh region in Northern Sumatra, Indonesia. This product offers a rich and full-bodied experience characterized by its distinctive earthy and herbal flavor profile. The beans are grown by smallholder farmers at altitudes between 1,100-1,500 meters above sea level, benefiting from the fertile volcanic soil of the region.
Gajah Mountain Sumatra beans undergo a traditional wet-hulling process known locally as "Giling Basah." This method enhances their unique taste attributes and gives them a low acidity and velvety mouthfeel. The coffee presents tasting notes that include sweet cedar, dark chocolate, and spices, making it suitable for those who appreciate complex flavors.
Union Roasted places significant emphasis on sustainable farming practices, ensuring that all coffee produced supports both environmental stewardship and economic viability for local communities. Each batch of Gajah Mountain Sumatra is roasted to perfection to bring out the optimal balance of flavors associated with Sumatran coffees.
This whole bean variant allows coffee enthusiasts to grind fresh according to their preferred brewing method, whether it be espresso machine, French press, pour-over, or drip coffee maker. Opting for whole beans helps maintain the integrity of the flavor over time compared to pre-ground options.
Packaged carefully to preserve freshness and quality, Union Coffee Gajah Mountain Sumatra Wholebean is ideal for those seeking an authentic Sumatran coffee experience supported by ethical sourcing standards.
