Our Sumatra Organic Dark Roast pays tribute to one of the most iconic coffee-growing regions in the world. This is a roast born from intention—from the generations of Indonesian farmers who perfected wet-hulling, to our own roasters who ensure each batch delivers the bold, smooth richness Sumatra is known for.
It’s not just a coffee—it’s a connection to origin, to craftsmanship, and to a tradition that’s stood the test of time. Blind Dog Coffee’s Sumatra roast is your front-row seat to the excellence that’s made this region a global legend.
