NEW 2012 CROP NOW AVAILABLE!

Spiced chocolate and sweet tobacco in the aroma, with a warm cedar note especially present in the wet aroma. Crisp and pleasant acidity in the cup, especially as it cools. The citrus is masterfully balanced by sweet tobacco and chocolate notes. Nippy, clean finish with lilac and cocoa lingering in the finish. A true triumph of Sumatra. 

Accolades

"Sweetly and richly pungent: cedar, grapefruit, freshly turned earth in aroma and cup. Rich, roundly bright acidity; medium body; silky mouthfeel. The citrus turns orangy in a fine, flavor-saturated finish."

Background Info

La Minita is famous for their coffee estate in Costa Rica. Under William McAlpin, La Minita pioneered the concept of single-estate coffees some 20 years ago. Today, they produce some of Central America’s most celebrated coffees.

The Aceh Gold, produced in the Lintong area, is one of several projects that La Minita is involved with outside of their estate. Partnering with Volkopi for the last 10 years, La Minita has received and continues to receive a year-round supply of fresh coffee because of Sumatra’s year-round harvest season. La Minita, one of only two US importers that Volkopi supplies, visits Sumatra at least once a year to maintain relationships and coffee quality.

Aceh Gold is a wet-hull processed, sun-dried, hand-sorted, and triple-picked coffee that we are proud to offer.
