These dark Sumatran beans are reminiscent of the Blue Ridge Parkway, which traces the mountains of Virginia through Charlottesville, Lynchburg, Staunton, Lexington, and Roanoke. Sitting on the edge of the world, in a thunderstorm, you might just barely experience all the savage beauty this coffee has to offer.

Indonesia Sumatra Mandheling GR1

This coffee comes from the North Sumatra province in Indonesia, one of the largest coffee-producing regions by volume on the island. Coffee here is usually wet-hulled, a processing method unique to Indonesia due to unpredictable rains during the drying season. Once pulped, coffee is dried to a certain moisture level before hulling. After that, the coffee is dried the rest of the way before being prepared for export. Small, family-owned farms are the norm here, though larger estates do exist.

One of the unique aspects of coffee production in Indonesia is the post-harvest process known as Giling Basah (wet hulling). This processing method is a hallmark of Sumatran coffee. Due to the humid climate, farmers use this hybrid process, which combines elements of both washed and natural methods, to avoid quality defects and achieve the desired moisture level for export.

The Giling Basah process significantly influences the cup profile, resulting in the low acidity, heavy body, and distinctive piney and spicy notes that are often associated with Indonesian coffee. These earthy and woody characteristics are highly valued in Sumatran beans.

IMHO The best tasting coffee

The Blue Ridge Bluff dark roast is simply the most smooth, rich tasting coffee I’ve ever had. I won’t be drinking anything other coffee at home.

Best Dark Roast. Ever.

Not the review type of person but CWJ's Blue Ridge Bluff is making this an exception.
Not only do I love the coffee, but every single person I've ever given Common Wealth Joe to (including all our employees at our startup office), absolutely love the stuff. Seriously- it's the first thing we hear about when it's out.
Not, "hey, why are these financials not going up and to the right?"
It's instead "when is the next cold brew keg getting in?......also Ajay, check into those financials"

One of the best decisions we've ever made, and one of the best coffee's we've ever tried.
