Because of the remote location, almost all the coffee growing landscape is rural and happens on a small scale. Sumatra is an out-of-the-way place and can be challenging to get to. The Islands of Sunda are a small group of islands tucked away on the west coast of Indonesia. If you hadn’t already guessed, Sumatran coffee beans come from Indonesia, more specifically the Sunda Islands, and it’s not just one island. You will almost always find Sumatra in some of the best coffee blends due to the unique flavor profile these earthy, spicy, and herbal beans can bring to the mix.

Plus, this coffee has almost no acidity making it the perfect choice for anyone with a sensitive stomach. Before I go racing on ahead, it’s probably a good idea to do a quick overview of Sumatra coffee, so you have a better understanding of this unique bean.Ĭultivated from the lush Indonesian island, we know this bean for being full-bodied with a smooth mouth-feel and spicy flavors of dried herbs and earthy notes.
