Sumatran Coffees (#)
„Sumatran coffees are some of the heaviest, smoothest, and most complex coffees in the world. Most of the coffees from Sumatra are dry-processed, but some are semi-washed. The majority of the coffee is marked Mandheling or Lintong and is grown inland from the southern coast. Coffee grown farther west is usually marked Gayo Mountain and is described as a sweet and clean.“

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.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide
„* Arcane note: Many coffee professionals logically assume, on the basis of flavor profile, that the small-grower arabica coffees of Sumatra (Mandheling, Lintong) are either dry-processed (meaning the bean or seed is dried with the entire fruit still wrapped around it) or semi-dry-processed (meaning the bean is dried with the outer skin removed but with the pulpy part of the fruit still adhering to it). In fact, small-grower Sumatra arabicas are wet-processed (the bean is only dried after the fruit has been entirely removed). However, the wet-processing is done in small batches by hand and the fermentation stage is dry (no water added to the pulped beans) rather than wet (water added) as in most conventional, large-scale wet processing.“

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.“
