★★★★★ 4.8/5 · Loved by 120,000+ coffee lovers

A touch spicy (like many Indonesian coffees) with light cocoa notes and a tangy acidity. Café du Jour Sumatra 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. This coffee was previously available under the name Raja Gayo.

Details

Café du Jour Sumatra 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.

This coffee was previously available under the name Raja Gayo.

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 does the Café du Jour Sumatra coffee taste like?

This Sumatra is medium roasted and has a spicy character, like many Indonesian coffees, with light hints of cocoa. It is bold and has a clear acidity. We rate the intensity as 8, so powerful. If you are looking for a mild, low acidity coffee, this single origin is not the most obvious choice.

What can I do if the Sumatra coffee tastes too sour to me?

The acidity is part of this coffee and comes out most strongly when you brew it as espresso. We recommend trying it as slow coffee from the Chemex, the French press or the filter, which keeps the acidity more in the background. If you grind yourself, it helps to grind a little finer, use a slightly higher dose and hotter water: that tones down the sour notes. For filter and French press, allow around 5 to 8 grams per cup.

Is the Café du Jour Sumatra the same coffee as the Raja Gayo?

Yes. This coffee was previously available under the name Raja Gayo and is now called Café du Jour 100% arabica Sumatra. It is the same 100% arabica from the central part of the province of Aceh on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia, grown at 1100 to 1600 metres altitude. Only the name has changed.

Which brewing method is the Sumatra coffee suitable for?

We think this Sumatra is at its best as slow coffee from the Chemex, the French press or the filter. You can also use it for espresso and cappuccino, although it then becomes a little bolder and the acidity comes out more. Make sure you use the right grind for your machine: whole beans for a bean to cup machine, filter grind for a pour over filter and espresso grind for an espresso machine. Filter grind and espresso grind are not interchangeable.

How fresh are the Sumatra coffee beans and how do I store them?

We roast this coffee in small batches and top up weekly, so the roast date is always recent. You will find that date on the label of the bag and when it is shipped the coffee is never older than four weeks. The bag is resealable and has a valve: gases can escape, air cannot get in, so the bag does not feel vacuum packed. Store the coffee cool, dark and well sealed and not in the fridge. Freshly roasted beans need five to seven days of degassing before they are at their best.
