FAQs

How fresh is my coffee when it arrives?

Your coffee is roasted to order and shipped within 24 hours of roasting. We never roast in advance or keep inventory sitting on shelves. This means your coffee arrives at peak freshness, typically 2-5 days from roasting depending on your location. For the best flavor experience, we recommend using your coffee within 2-4 weeks of the roast date.

Should I order whole beans or ground coffee?

We recommend ordering whole beans for maximum freshness and flavor, as coffee begins to lose its optimal taste within minutes of grinding. However, we're happy to grind your coffee to order for your preferred brewing method. Just select your grind size at checkout:

  • Whole Bean (recommended)
  • Coarse (French Press, Cold Brew)
  • Medium (Drip, Pour Over)
  • Fine (Espresso, Moka Pot)

What makes your coffee different from grocery store coffee?

Our coffee is specialty-grade (85+ points), single origin, and roasted by SCA-certified professionals. Unlike grocery store coffee that sits on shelves for weeks or months, your coffee is roasted specifically for your order and shipped within 24 hours. We source 100% organic, fair-trade beans with no artificial flavors or additives - just pure, exceptional coffee that showcases each origin's unique characteristics.

Sumatra

Aceh (pronounced AH-CHEY) is the northernmost province of Sumatra. Its highland territory, surrounding Lake Laut Tawar and the local city of Takengon, is considered to be the epicenter of one of the world’s most unique coffee terroirs due to its isolated heirloom set of typica and catimor-based cultivars, its uniquely fertile microclimates, land husbandry, and tradition of wet-hulled processing. Coffee farms in this area are managed with the experience of many generations of cultivation, while also harmoniously woven into their surrounding tropical forests.  The canopies are loud and fields are almost impenetrably thick with coffee and fruit trees and vegetables, all of which are constantly flushing with new growth. Year-round mists and rain showers never cease, farm floors are spongy and deep with compost, and almost every square meter of the region seems to exude life. Nothing is ever still.PT Ketiara is an umbrella group in this area that was founded in 2009 by Ms. Rahmah, who began in coffee as a local cherry collector more than 20 years ago, and who by now is one of Indonesia’s most respected coffee entrepreneurs. As a woman coming up in the male-dominated, largely conservative Muslim industry of Sumatra coffee, Ms. Rahmah learned to be assertive in negotiations, tend endlessly to the happiness of the farmers she represents, and to make her business a collective representation of the true gender diversity and talent of her community.  The original cooperative was Fair Trade certified in 2011 and has grown from 38 original farmer members to almost 2000, and into multiple different sub-companies to service different qualities, processing styles, and certifications. Ms. Rahmah and her leadership team are in constant communication with their members.
