Sumatra Cocoa Beans

Fruity, full-bodied lots from highland Aceh and North Sumatra, graded and documented for export.

Our Sumatran lots come from established smallholder networks in the highlands of Aceh and North Sumatra. They are prized for a brighter, fruit-leaning profile with full body that holds up in single-origin bars and flavour-forward blends, and every container ships with the same cut-test results and export documentation as our flagship origins.

What Sumatra beans taste like

Highland Sumatran cocoa develops a fruity, full-bodied profile with red-fruit notes and firm cocoa impact that survives roasting, blending, and high-cocoa formulations. It is a favourite of bean-to-bar makers and couverture producers who want an Indonesian origin with more expressive character than a neutral base bean.

How we source in Sumatra

We work with established smallholder collection networks in Aceh and North Sumatra's cocoa highlands, applying the same intake standards we use at home in Sulawesi: every lot is moisture-tested and cut-tested before it is accepted, and rejected deliveries never enter our export stream. That discipline is what keeps container-to-container variation low.

Buying Sumatra beans from us

Sumatra lots are consolidated and shipped with full export paperwork, phytosanitary certificate, certificate of origin, fumigation record, and packing list. Share your specification and destination port and we will quote current pricing, lead time, and incoterms, with pre-shipment samples available on request.
