Sumatran Earth is a single origin coffee from the Aceh region of northern Sumatra, Indonesia, known for producing coffees with depth, body, and a distinctive earthy character.
Processed using the traditional semi-washed method, this coffee delivers low acidity, heavy mouthfeel, and savoury complexity, making it a natural choice for darker roasts and espresso-focused brewing.

Coffee questions
Questions, answered
The things people ask us most.
What does it taste like?
Rich, bold, and smooth, with earthy depth, dark chocolate, and tobacco. A very heavy body and very low acidity.
Which brew methods suit it best?
Espresso, French press, moka pot, and drip machine. A slightly coarser grind preserves the body and keeps it smooth.
Does it make good espresso?
Yes. Its dense body and low acidity give a thick, weighty shot full of dark cocoa and cedar spice, especially in the espresso roast, and it is excellent in milk.
What is the difference between the dark and espresso roasts?
Espresso sits between medium and dark, developed specifically for espresso with a balanced, structured body and a smooth crema. Dark is the deeper, more intense of the two, with heavier dark cocoa and cedar depth and a long finish.
Which roast should I choose?
Choose espresso for a balanced, crema-rich shot developed for the machine, or dark for the heavier, more grounding brewed cup.
Is this a good coffee for beginners?
Yes. It is bold and earthy but smooth and very low in acidity, so it is easy to enjoy if you like heavier, grounding coffee.
How should I grind my coffee for my brew method?
Pick your grind above, or choose whole bean and grind at home. As a guide: fine for espresso, medium for pour over and drip, and coarse for French press.
How fresh is the coffee when it arrives?
We roast weekly in small batches in Ottawa, and your order ships within 3 business days of being placed, so your coffee reaches you soon after its roast for peak flavour.
Should I choose whole bean or ground?
Every coffee is available as whole bean or ground to your brew method. Whole bean stays fresher longer; ground is ready to brew right away.
How should I store my coffee to keep it fresh?
Keep it in an airtight container away from light, heat, and moisture. Avoid the fridge, and use it within a few weeks of opening for the best flavour.
Can I subscribe and save?
Yes. Choose Subscribe above to save up to 10% and get coffee on your schedule. Skip or cancel anytime.
