Origin
Indonesia
Indonesian coffees, especially the wet-hulled lots of Sumatra, are prized for a heavy, syrupy body, very low acidity and a savoury, earthy depth — cedar, dark chocolate and ripe fig — that makes them a favourite for full-immersion and moka brewing.

Ships from our UK roastery
Indonesia Sumatra Lake Toba by Coffee Beautiful
Indonesia is one of the largest coffee producers in the world, usually in the top five.
Coffee growing was started during colonial times around 1696 as the region provided some excellent growing conditions. Coffee beans from Indonesia produce low acidity and a full-bodied profile.
This coffee is grown near Lake Toba, which is the largest volcanic lake in the world. Processed using Giling Basah, this coffee has a huge body and a spicy aroma with hints of cedar and tobacco. The varieties are Catimor and Typica.
Frequently asked questions
How fresh is your coffee?
All our coffee is roasted in small batches here in the UK and dispatched fresh, so it reaches you in peak condition. For the best flavour, enjoy your beans within a few weeks of opening and keep them somewhere cool and dark.
How should I store my coffee?
Keep your coffee in an airtight container somewhere cool, dark and dry, away from heat and moisture. Avoid the fridge or freezer once the bag is opened, as condensation dulls the flavour. Whole beans stay fresher for longer than pre-ground.
Which grind should I choose?
Match the grind to how you brew: Whole Beans if you grind fresh at home; Espresso/Moka Pot for a fine grind; Filter/AeroPress for medium; French Press/Clever Dripper for coarse; Pods; or Cold Brew for a coarse grind. If in doubt, Whole Beans give you the most flavour and flexibility.
Which coffees suit espresso, and which suit pour-over?
Our blends are built for high-pressure brewing — espresso machines, Moka pots and AeroPress — where their body and sweetness shine. Our single origins are lighter and more aromatic, and are at their best in gravity brewers like the V60, Chemex and filter. Many coffees work well across both, so feel free to experiment.
Do you offer decaf?
Yes — our decaf coffees are decaffeinated using chemical-free water processes (Swiss Water and Mountain Water), which remove the caffeine while keeping the flavour, so you get a full-bodied cup with none of the buzz.
When will my coffee arrive?
Next-day UK delivery is £2.95, and free on coffee orders over £30. Order by 2pm and we'll dispatch the same working day. Every order is tracked, with a tracking number sent to you.
