Central Sumatra Coffee is a private family-owned coffee producer and processor in the region of Sumatra, Indonesia. It has a single farm estate in 3 different regions across Sumatra.
Enzo Sauqi is the man behind Central Sumatra Coffee Farm. He has a big vision for the land he has built and nurtured for years and dedicate his life to producing the best quality cherries and processing them at its finest.
He and his team pour in most of their time and effort to product the best quality coffee beans with special post-harvest processing treatment from their farms.
Central Sumatra Coffee has aimed to focus on quality which requires meticulous attention and processes, expanding from a classic wet-hulled process to a more sophisticated processing method through continuous learning and experimentation.
With direct control from the plants up to the end of the processing value chain of coffee, Enzo Sauqi and his team at Central Sumatera Coffee farm have full control throughout the process, especially the crucial part of the selection of cherries and the cultivation of coffee plants.
Throughout the journey, Enzo and his team believe Indonesia is essentially becoming more prominent in the specialty market. It is very exciting to see Indonesia, with such diverse origins and history produce a more beautiful and delicious cup of coffee. Central Sumatera Coffee Farm serves as a primary example of how Indonesian coffee growers can become sustainable through constant improvement in quality, sustainability, and traceability.
This particular lot is processed and dried as a traditional natural. The cherries are selectively picked and fully ripe cherries are then transferred to raised beds to dry. The cherry is turned every few hours for even and precise drying for a total of 4-6 weeks.
