Bisbee, AZ, is famous for its copper mine tour that takes visitors into the middle of the Earth! Well, not quite the middle, but our new Sumatra Takengon Mandheling coffee is as earthy as it gets - in a great way!
Freshly ground Sumatra has a heavy duty, rugged coffee aroma that packs a punch, with a hint of berry. The flavor from the cup is huge, with an unrelenting coffee flavor. The finish lingers with a suggestion of Dutch cocoa.
If you're not out of bed already, our latest Sumatra will give you the kick you need!
