THE COFFEE
A medium-full roast single origin from the high-grown volcanic highlands of Sumatra, situated above Lake Toba. This selection is bold and subtly spiced, offering a gentle smokiness that evokes the essence of glowing embers. It features a full body and a long finish, providing a deep complexity that invites a moment of quiet contemplation.
THE ORANGUTAN
In the rainforests above Lake Toba, the Orangutans of Sumatra move through the canopy with a gentleness and intelligence. They inhabit the same microclimate that makes Sumatran coffee so distinctive, building nests each evening in the treetops and navigating a landscape they have called home for generations. Their presence is inseparable from the forest and the coffee grown within it.
FROM THE PLANET
Sumatran coffee is processed using the Giling Basah (wet-hulling) method, a technique unique to the island that produces a characteristic earthy depth and low acidity. The volcanic soil around Lake Toba, enriched by mineral deposits, combines with high altitude and equatorial humidity to create extraordinary richness. Medium-full roasting honours this terroir, allowing the natural spice and earthy complexity to come through fully. Coffee at this roast level is noted for its high content of chlorogenic acids, and studies suggest that regular consumption may support sustained, grounded energy.

Circular thinking: your caddy is built to be refilled. When the coffee runs out, the artwork stays. Order a refill pouch and keep going. Your packaging choice matters to us so we offer two options: certified home compostable pouches that break down naturally in 10 to 12 weeks, or our I'm Green recyclable pouches made from sugarcane. Both are better than single use. Neither belongs in landfill. Everything else in your order, from the tissue paper to the tape, is either compostable or recyclable.
