Sumatran Lake Tawar Coffee Beans
Enjoy the intense flavours from these unique, single-origin, 100% arabica quality Sumatran coffee beans.
Sumatran Lake Tawar is undoubtedly one of the best Sumatran coffees ever produced. Along with our other fantastic lot, Blue Bianca, they are both well loved.
A triple-picked Lintong that has been semi-washed and sun-dried using the traditional method of "wet-hulling". This Sumatra Lake Tawar develops a big, bold and intensely sweet cup. Expect dark fruit and chocolate flavours.
Since 2011, our Sumatra Lake Tawar has continued to build up a considerable cult following.
Pick this fantastic coffee if you are looking for a potent, punchy, complex coffee that will constantly keep you interested.
A super-clean single-origin Sumatran coffee containing no traditional earthy (forest floor) taints from the wet-hulled processing method.
Prepare for a burst of flavour that will wake up your taste buds and give you the energy you need to power through your day.
There is a lot of dark fruit and brooding sweetness going on here.
About Sumatran Coffees
The unique processing method differentiates Sumatran coffees from all other coffees grown and sold worldwide.
Wet-hulled coffees are only found in Indonesian coffees. This produces coffee with intense flavours and complexity.
It is also a high-risk processing method if ferments introduce taints in the cup. The wet-hulling is a manual, labour-intensive process. These are the two reasons it is not practiced in other areas.
As Sumatran coffee beans go through this unique process called wet-hulling, the finished raw coffee will have a much higher moisture level.
There are also additional risks of excessive "sweating" of the raw coffee when transported inside shipping containers. It can lead to higher risks of mould or fermentation taints.
With 39+ years of transporting Sumatran coffee, our suppliers know how to do this properly. This ensures our lots are unique and on another level.
Our evaluation, assessment and quality control are stringent for Sumatran coffees. We will only buy it if it passes our critical tests. After all, Sumatran coffees are expensive. The cost similar to Decaf, Kenya, Panama and Costa Ricans.
We certainly won't risk buying coffees that are tainted.
A truly wonderful coffee experience awaits you with Sumatran coffees, including this fabulous lot from Lake Tawar. They are complex and exciting. Never dull, and always rewarding.

Why our coffees are different
Our custom SUPA-ROASTA is a one-of-a-kind, fully cast-iron platform using the most advanced computer controls for ultra-precise roasting of the best-tasting coffees.
These days, complete cast-iron roasting systems are extremely rare. Only cast-iron platforms can impart that highly desirable soft, moist heat into the coffee beans.
Would the best chefs and BBQ experts cook their culinary delights on Stainless, Alloy or Mild Steel or Air ?
Nope, neither would we.
mycuppa's SUPA-ROASTA creates coffees with smooth, rich, high-flavoured tastes, full and syrupy body, fine acidity and of course our trademark long, sweet finish.
Nothing compares.
how we roast your coffee
Roasting coffee is a precise science. These days, computer profiles perform most of the automated tasks for controlling a roast profile. However, through better quality control via tasting, testing and optimization, we can make a big difference to the finished product through setting special parameters.

Ground coffee is poor value
Whole beans are the only way to enjoy freshly roasted coffee.
The moment coffee beans are ground, most of the essential, active compounds in ground coffee oxidize rapidly, losing vitality, aroma, flavour and body.
Ground coffee barely lasts 15 minutes; even sealed packs lose more than 80% of the critical essence in 2 weeks.
Unfortunately, once you open and close that pack, it's game over, and the ground coffee continues to stale at 20x the rate of whole beans inside of a sealed, unopened pack.
If you love coffee, please don't waste money buying pre-ground packs; you only get a small part of the wonderful coffee experience.
Buy a decent grinder and purchase whole beans; it makes a huge difference in aroma, flavour, and enjoyment.
