A touch spicy (like many Indonesian coffees) with light cocoa notes and a tangy acidity. Café du Jour Indonesia (Mandheling) Sumatra Raja Gayo coffee is meticulously grown in the heart of Aceh province on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia, at altitudes ranging from 1100 to 1600 metres. The coffee is medium roasted. We enjoy it as a (slow) brew using a Chemex, cafetière, or quick filter. As an espresso, it can be a bit spicy, and the acidity is more pronounced.

Details

Café du Jour Indonesia (Mandheling) Sumatra Raja Gayo coffee is meticulously cultivated in the central region of Aceh province on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia, at altitudes ranging from 1100 to 1600 metres. This coffee is produced by several small farmers, each with about a hectare of land, yielding approximately 700 - 1000 kg of coffee annually. With an average year-round temperature of 20 degrees, ample rainfall, and fertile soil, this area is a paradise for agriculture. Coffee farming is the primary income source, but the region also produces tobacco, sugar cane, tea, cloves, vegetables, fruits, and beans.

Only red, ripe coffee berries are hand-picked for this coffee, ensuring superior quality, flavour, and aroma. Once harvested, the berries are immediately pulped (the red skin is removed) and laid out to dry. After drying, the coffee is taken to one of the cooperatives for further processing and preparation for export.

Café du Jour Coffee Beans

Café du Jour's signature coffee beans are roasted on a small scale by a specialist roaster. The beans are roasted and stocked weekly, ensuring the roasting date is always recent. This date is clearly marked on the packaging label.

Resealable Coffee Packaging

Whether you purchase 250g, 500g, or a kilo of Café du Jour coffee beans, they always come in special resealable packaging. The coffee bag features a unique resealable edge so you can always seal the coffee airtight. Each bag has a valve on the front that allows gases and air to escape from the bag without letting outside air back in. We do everything we can to maintain your coffee's optimal freshness!

FAQ

Customer Questions

What is the roast date?

The roast date of Café du Jour's coffee beans is usually a maximum of four weeks before dispatch. This means that the coffee beans are generally no older than four weeks when they arrive at your door. Many people ask if coffee beans are already too old after three weeks. The answer to that is: no. Freshly roasted coffee actually reaches its best flavour after a few weeks. During roasting, carbon dioxide (CO₂) is created inside the coffee beans, which can mask the taste at first. That is why coffee is at its best between one and four weeks after roasting. After roasting, the beans are immediately packed in special coffee bags with a one-way valve. This valve allows CO₂ to escape without letting oxygen in, so the aromas are preserved and the coffee remains fresh. This way, you can count on an optimally fresh product with a full flavour!

What are the flavour characteristics of this coffee and how does it distinguish itself from other Indonesian Arabicas?

This coffee distinguishes itself by a spicy profile with light cocoa and chocolate notes, a powerful body and a bold touch with a subtle acidity. Customers describe the flavour as full, smooth, not bitter, and ideal for those who enjoy an espresso or a milk-based coffee in which the coffee flavour remains prominent. Fruity and nutty accents can also be detected. Compared to other Indonesian coffees, this one is slightly spicier, but remains pleasantly balanced.

Will the flavour and freshness be preserved if I order a one kilo bag?

Yes, the Raja Gayo beans are delivered in a resealable package that preserves freshness optimally, even when you choose a kilo bag. Customers indicate that the flavour remains consistent from the first to the last bean, provided the packaging is properly closed after each use. This way, you can fully enjoy the special Indian arabica right up to the last cup.

How can I best set the optimal grind size and extraction time for these beans?

Advise customers to set the grind slightly finer than usual if you notice that the flow time is too fast, for example with a Ceado or Bezerra grinder. Due to the relatively fresh moisture content, the flow time can sometimes be shorter, so a finer grind will give a better extraction. For espresso, we recommend an extraction time of approximately 20-25 seconds for a nice crema and full flavour. For filter coffee, you can try a coarse grind, depending on the brewing method and personal preference.
