About coffee from Indonesia
Indonesian coffee, especially from Sumatra, is often wet-hulled, a local method that hulls the beans while they're still wet. That gives the earthy, full-bodied, low-acid cup Sumatra is known for.

Meet Stumptown
Stumptown Coffee Roasters opened its first café in Portland, Oregon, in 1999, in a space that used to be a beauty parlor called Hair Bender. The blend named after that shop is still the espresso in every Stumptown café. The company buys much of its coffee through Direct Trade relationships, some going back well over a decade, like its Ethiopia Mordecofe, offered every year since 2006. Stumptown is a certified B Corp, and its single origins usually come in 10.5 oz bags with a named farm, washing station or cooperative behind them.
