Indonesia's volcanic islands produce some of the world's most recognizable coffee profiles, with Sumatra standing out for its distinctive Giling Basah, or semi-washed, processing method. Unlike traditional washed coffees, parchment is removed while the beans still have a relatively high moisture content, contributing to Sumatra's signature syrupy body, low acidity, earthy sweetness, and notes of spice, cedar, and dark chocolate.

ICT's Indonesian program is centered primarily around the coffee-growing regions of Aceh and North Sumatra, which together account for the majority of the island's Arabica production. Most coffee is grown by smallholder farmers on family-owned farms, with cooperatives and exporters providing quality control, technical support, and market access. Approximately 20% of coffee production in Aceh is certified organic, reflecting the region's continued commitment to sustainable farming practices.

While Sumatra remains the foundation of our Indonesian offerings, ICT also sources select coffees from Bali, where volcanic soils and high elevations produce coffees with brighter acidity, refined sweetness, and vibrant fruit character. Together, these origins showcase the remarkable diversity of Indonesian coffee and provide roasters with profiles ranging from classic earthy Sumatras to expressive specialty microlots.
