Indonesia – Simalem (Honey)

Introducing two fresh crop coffees from our friends at Simalem; a LeSOS Organic Certified farm in Karo, Lake Toba, North Sumatra, Indonesia.

Our story with @simalem.coffee.tea goes back to 2019 when we traveled to Thailand for our first Coffee
Quality Institute courses. There we met Johan Kwe, who was already on his way to being a
licensed Q Processor. Johan is an efficient and well-studied processing specialist who produces exceptionally sweet & clean coffees.

This month we have on offer both Honey & Wet-Hulled processes of the Indonesian
Sigararutang; is a varietal that comes with the potential for excellent sweetness, body, & pest resistance which allows Simalem to effectively eliminate their use of pesticides at their 1500-1600 masl farm.

In these new coffees, find notes of White Grape, Chocolate, and a molasses finish in the Honey
Process; then take notes of Vanilla pipe tobacco & a textured body in the Wet – Hulled Process.

These coffees are versatile in their ability to make a sweet, and approachable filter and at the
same time make a full, sugar-sticking-in-your-cup espresso. Our priority with these coffees is
sweetness in the cup.
