This month’s Atlas Coffee Club, we received coffee from Sumatra, Indonesia. Indonesia is known for some of the most expensive coffees in the world. This particular bag of beans came from the Sumatra region of Indonesia, grown by a local all-female co-op. The women of the Ketiara co-op grew the plants for these beans at 1350 M altitude, and processed them using the wet hulling process. The beans themselves are a medium-dark roast.
What I am reviewing: The Monthly, 12 oz single-origin coffee

What’s inside: One 12 oz (340 g) bag of coffee with postcard.
My final thoughts: These coffee beans were grinded by me and put in a French press, I prefer using 3 tablespoons of beans for 300 ml of water. After pouring in the boiling water into the French press, I let the brew sit for 4-5 minutes and then poured the aromatic liquid into a cup and let it sit for a few more minutes. The results were spectacular; It really did taste peppery as described in the info card. I was not expecting that, and I don’t mean spicy, it tasted like you expect a freshly cut bell pepper to smell.
