The Queen of Sumatran Coffee
#706 Organic Sumatra Ketiara
12 oz whole bean medium coffee
Long live the queen: Sumatra Queen Ketiara is our newest, organic Sumatran that’s truly fit for royalty. Earthy chocolate aromas lead into a dynamic cup of sweet black tea with a touch of wild blackberry, and a round, creamy finish that tastes like a warm buttered croissant. This is a robust medium roast with low acidity and deep, toasty flavors—all the elegance of tea-time wrapped in a strong, sweet Indonesian cup. Pinkies up!
Longshoreman’s Daughter has been roasting in the heart of artsy Fremont district for over 35 years. Lori is Seattle’s preeminent female roaster, born and raised in the dockyards of the city’s historic shipping ports. In true Seattle style, she roasts a hearty cup, slinging her eye-opening brews to sailors and hipsters alike. Ketiara is an organic certified coop in the Gayo Highlands of Sumatra, known for their female leadership and top-quality, innovative coffees. Their roasts stand apart from other Sumatrans with their sugar development, the hint of twinkly brightness within a classic profile of dark cocoa, black tea, earthy spice. The creamy, buttery finish is the icing on the (coffee) cake.
Reserve a freshly-roasted bag of Sumatra Queen Ketiara, and give your morning the royal treatment with this deep and satisfying cup of sweet tea, blackberry spice, and buttered croissant. Your kingdom—your kitchen!—awaits.

★★★★★ | ★★★★★ This coffee was a little too fruity for my liking and definitely had a tea like flavor. I brewed it with a french press. I could drink this coffee again but probably would not buy it. |

★★★★★ | ★★★★★ 3 to 4 -- not bad, but not a favorite. Definitely tasted the black tea, pretty heavy taste -- with very light notes of a blackberry flavor. I would recommend to people who like the black tea taste, and darker roasts; I actually thought this was a dark roast. |

★★★★★ | ★★★★★ It tasted very fruity, more like a light coffee. It was a little too fruity for my liking. Brewed it as an espresso and made an ok iced latte. |
