Our Sumatra Takengon Fair Trade French is farmed in the district of Takengon around Lake Tawar in Indonesia. This area is Fair Trade certified, meaning our Sumatra Takengon coffees are sustainably farmed and are processed under fair labor conditions. We roast the Sumatra Takengon bean at a higher degree resulting in a French Roast. Sumatra Takengon FT French is the darkest Fair Trade coffee we carry. The brown sugar notes are caramelized resulting in a coffee that is both syrupy, rich and low in acidity. Expect a flowery and earthy finish.
I have yet to open, but have enjoyed this Sumatra French Roast for many years and expect this bag to be as good as all the others.
My wife and I have been enjoying this French Roast coffee for nearly 10 years. And even now that we moved out of state, we are still ordering it!
Always fresh ! Courteous service, fast shipping, the brewed on date (shipping time included !) seems to always be less than one week ! Amazing. After 20+ years, I don’t know how soon we found them after moving to Shrewsbury in 1996. Since left for warmer weather. I switched from French press to espresso this summer . Same beans , excellent taste ! Photo includes Sumatra M. Beans , one Viennese roast the other French, guess which is which !
Have used only Armeno coffees for about 15-20 years - nicest people great fresh coffee beans!
