"Sumatra is one of the Sunda Islands of western Indonesia. It is the largest island that is fully within Indonesian territory, as well as the sixth-largest island in the world, not including adjacent islands such as the Simeulue, Nias, Mentawai, Enggano, Riau Islands, Bangka Belitung, and Krakatoa archipelago."

Note: Comes in whole bean only.

Our devotion to small-batch coffee and our steadfast pledge to provide the freshest roasts are reflected in our unique approach. We prioritize the swift transfer of freshly roasted beans directly into the bags, resulting in roasting on demand.  This exceptional process might entail a slightly longer preparation time in contrast to other companies that supply their roasts to big-box retailers, where their coffee can linger on the shelf for anywhere from 90 to 180 days.

BACKSTORY: 

"The earliest known use of the name America dates to April 25, 1507, when it was applied to what is now known as South America. It appears on a small globe map with twelve time zones, together with the largest wall map made to date, both created by the German cartographer Martin Waldseemüller in Saint-Dié-des-Vosges in France. These were the first maps to show the Americas as a land mass separate from Asia. An accompanying book, Cosmographiae Introductio, anonymous but apparently written by Waldseemüller's collaborator Matthias Ringmann, states, "I do not see what right anyone would have to object to calling this part [that is, the South American mainland], after Americus who discovered it and who is a man of intelligence, Amerigen, that is, the Land of Americus, or America: since both Europa and Asia got their names from women". America is also inscribed on the Paris Green Globe (or Globe vert) which has been attributed to Waldseemüller and dated to 1506–07: as well as the single name inscribed on the northern and southern parts of the New World, the continent also bears the inscription: America ab inuentore nuncupata (America, named after its discoverer). Mercator on his map called North America "America or New India" (America sive India Nova)."
