About

Raja Batak comes from the western Lake Toba region in the north of Sumatra. This shipment has been processed using the honey process method where the sugary layer of fruit (mucilage) is mostly retained on the parchment-covered coffee after the cherry skin is removed. The initial drying period is done at each farm before the coffee is sent to the local processors who remove the parchment; this is done while the moisture level is still high in comparison to methods in other countries. The coffee then goes through a second stage of drying before being graded and prepared for shipment. In comparison to last year, there has been dryer and warmer weather which has been better for the ripening, processing and drying.

Grind Guide

Cafetière

A coarse grind also suitable for cold brew. We use the word cafetière, but this can also be referred to as a French press, plunger or press pot.

Aeropress slow

Suitable for making a long, filter style coffee, often brewed for a few minutes. Similar to our paper filter setting.

Filter

This is suitable for our paper filters and ceramic or plastic cones, along with other brands such as V60, Clever dripper and Melitta.

Stovetop

This is an espresso style grind suitable for use in hob top espresso pots such as a Bialetti or Grunwerg. Sometimes referred to as a moka pot.

Aeropress fast

This is also an espresso style grind ideal for brewing a short, concentrated, espresso style coffee in an Aeropress.

Domestic espresso

A fine grind for using in your home espresso machine. Grind requirements will vary depending on brand and model, but this setting aims to work for the majority of home setups.

Whole beans

For use in your home grinder!

If you use a different method such as a syphon or Chemex, require a custom grind or need some advice, please get in touch and we will be happy to help.
