The northern most part of the country is ‘Daerah Istimewa Aceh’, one of 27 provinces in Indonesia which has special status. The Mandheling coffee is grown around lake Tawar, near to the town of Takengon. The soil is rich and volcanic and has grown coffee for many years. Many areas work on the single stem pruning system, and cut the main trunk every 3 years or so – this gives a very solid central producing wood. The surrounding district is pretty tropical rainforest, with coffee sometimes growing wild amongst other trees, other times in cleared areas. The coffee is produced on many small holder plots, and usually pulped and sun dried on patios, without being fermented. There are very few plantations. The final quality is determined by the exporters, who are based in Medan, close to the port, where they hull and polish the green beans.

El Salvador Finca Las Brumas
Almonds, Sparkling Citrus, Cane Sugar, Chocolate   Roaster's Notes: One of our most underrated favourite. Nothing wild here just sweet, balanced and clean coffee that's so perfect to sip on rainy days. This El Salvador brings a sparkling bright acidity in a filter roast that makes sipping from hot till cool a pleasure. In our espresso roast, the extended maillard phase tones down the acidity and takes sweetness up another notch. From the family of Ernesto Menendez that produced the very same SL28 variety for Dale Harris to win the WBC2017, this is a very solid, high quality coffee that you should definitely try   Area: Sonsonate, Apaneca-Ilamatepec Process: Washed Variety: Bourbon Altitude: 1500 masl

Ednilson is the commercial manager; Waltim handles day-to-day production and PR. They have been coffee producers all their lives—their father started the farm with one hectare, buying a second and third hectare from the farm's profits until he had grown his land to 500 total hectares. The different lots in Fazenda Dutra represent the original names of the individual farms that Don Dutra absorbed into his property. Don Dutra passed away in an accident on the farm when his sons were young, but Ednilson and Waltim have continued operations of the Fazenda in his honor and in the family name. The brothers have been growing their operations year by year, and have won a number of national competitions, including the 2014 Cup of Excellence.   Area: São João do Manhuaçu, Minas Gerais Process: Natural – beans are patio-dried with mucilage intact while they are still in the cherry Variety: Catuai Amarelo Altitude: 700 - 1300 meters
