Whereas Central American coffees are distinguished by their dry, winey aftertaste, the coffees of Indonesia are noted for their richness, full body, long finish, and an acidity that, though pronounced, is deep-toned and gentle. The Fairtrade movement advocates the payment of a higher price to farmers as well as higher social and environmental standards.
For those whose palettes favor a lighter roast, try our Sumatran coffee.
