Good body (not as much as Javas, but on par with Celebes), and a good bit of acidity for an island coffee, this bean has a nice spiciness and floralness, with strong hints of cocoa/chocolate and caramel on the finish. It is excellent for blending and for espresso blends, but please drink it straight too – it shines as a straight! It takes a dark roast very well and puffs up nice and large after a friendly roast. This coffee is very much cleaner in the cup than most Sumatras. A truly wonderful coffee that should be a part of your “coffee collection.”
