An Introduction to Coffee from Sumatra
The region of Indonesia known as Sumatra is recognized around the world for its unique and flavorful coffee exports. The farmers who grow the beans in the mountainous areas of the region utilize a unique harvesting and drying process that provides the coffee with its recognizable and distinctive flavors.
Where some coffees would be referred to as flawed, a coffee from Sumatra is considered a success if it ends up with a slightly sweet mildew taste. Though this sounds a bit revolting, the fact is that all coffee beans face the threat of developing some mildew, but it is only the Sumatra blends and roasts in which this is a desirable issue.
The farmers and growers use what is known as a partial fruit removal and moisture interrupted process that allows the acidity of the beans to be greatly reduced. The beans of Sumatra are also usually roasted to a very dark color. All of this combines to give the coffees a level of complexity not found in many other standard brews. Many drinkers of Sumatran coffees refer to “bittersweet”, “fruity” and even “dark chocolate” flavors in a properly brewed mug.
With all of the refined approaches to harvesting, drying and roasting the coffee in Sumatra, it might seem that it would be outrageously expensive, but many large corporations working with “fair trade” growers are able to acquire huge amounts of the coffees from this region and offer it to their customers.
Additionally, many companies create special “blends” that include some Sumatra beans in the mix. While this might seem to be only a watered down version of the drink, it does allow a wider range of coffee enthusiasts to get a good introduction to the unique aromas and flavors of the coffees of Sumatra.

True or false?
The world's most exclusive coffee is made from a bean which has already passed through the colon of a cat. The droppings of the Palm Civet wildcat, indigenous to the coffee plantations of Sumatra, are sold at market at about £150,000 per tonne. In Japan the coffee sells at about £10 a cup.
true.
The cat's digestive enzymes convert some of the chemicals in the coffee been into very subtle flavours and a pleasant aroma. The besns leave the cat intact. They are very caresully cleaned and disinfected dried and eventually sold for the highest cost for coffee beans in the world.
There is at least one coffee retailer in Vancouver, British Columbia Canada, (I'm sure there are others too), that buys a large quantity every year and then packages the beans into smaller bags for sale. She does mail order.
Act fast her yearly supply runs out fast.
