Big flavor is a distinguishing characteristic of Sumatran coffees, one of the most favorites being Sumatran Reserve K-Cups. The complex flavor is attributed to the unique region as well as the unique Sumatran processing methods. On Sumatra, one of the largest islands of Indonesia, coffee beans are not hulled immediately after picking. Instead they are left for some time within the berry. By aging the coffee bean this way, the bean is exposed to the berry’s pulp for longer, thus changing the flavor of the coffee. As a result, Sumatran coffee is said to be more complex and slightly earthy. Coffee critics, when extolling the tastes of Sumatran coffee, use the words loamy, woody, and chicory smoke. When sweetened, Sumatran coffee can take on a deep, syrupy quality. And when roasted lightly, herb-like piquant tones are rife, including pepper, mint, and cloves.
