PART 2, G to L - Sweet Maria's Coffee Cupping Reviews: Archive 2001 and 2002 crops (#)

  „Notes: This is a Indonesian Komodo Blend of coffees in 3 equal parts: Organic Timor Maubese, Organic Sumatra Gayo Mountain, and Organic Papua New Guinea A. All are Certified and Swiss Water Process decaffeinated. You can see that I buy mostly Indonesia SWPs, because I think this process is very damaging to the cup quality of acidy coffees (Central Americans, etc) but quite nice with low-acid Indonesians. So blending these three was just another way to bring our more dimension in the cup.“

Espresso Blending

  „To add richness and body to a blend, Asian Pacific coffees such as Sumatra, Sulawesi, Java, East Timor, New Guinea and Ethiopian Yirgacheffe are used.  Yirgacheffe has a potent flowerlike aroma.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide

  „The connection between drinking Sumatra coffee and helping Sumatrans has not escaped other members of the coffee community. Starbucks has announced that for every pound of whole-bean Sumatra or Sumatra Decaf sold in the month of January 2005 it will donate $2 or the equivalent in local currency to aid agencies benefiting victims of the December 2004 tsunami. (Both a Starbucks Sumatra and Decaf Sumatra are both reviewed here.) Fonte Coffee Roaster promises to do the same for Sumatras purchased on their website, and Tully's Coffee is sending 100% of proceeds from sale of its special World Vision Tsunami Support Blend to World Vision's relief efforts.“

Amazon.com: Gourmet Food: Sumatra Fair Trade Organic Coffee

  „The purchase of Sumatran organic coffee does, however, help to protect the livelihood of the small farmer in cooperatives, as well as the environment in which they farm. Fair Trade Coffee is produced under a program that ensures that the coffee farmers in developing countries (like Indonesia) are paid more for their coffee. Under the fair trade agreement, an importer must meet stringent international criteria; paying a minimum price per pound of $1.26, providing much needed credit to farmers, and providing technical assistance such as help transitioning to organic farming. Fair Trade for coffee farmers means community development, health, education, and environmental stewardship.“
