Sumatra Takengon Select Dark Roast: profile and selection
Dates, pine and semisweet chocolate give Tiny Footprint Sumatra Takengon Select a distinctive dark-roast profile. Coffee from the Ketiera and Koperasi Kopi Gayo Organic cooperatives in Aceh is wet hulled and sun dried. The cup is described as syrupy, with citrus and nut impressions emerging as it cools.
The current listing does not identify individual farms, cultivars, harvest year, drying duration, lot identifier or current numerical cupping score.
This description separates documented coffee facts from information the supplier has not published. Confirm the selected size and grind in the cart before ordering.

Brew for the documented roast and profile
For immersion, begin with 27 grams of coffee and 440 grams of filtered water using a medium-coarse grind and water around 194–199°F. Separate the beverage fully from the grounds after about four minutes. Taste it black before adding cream and note how the syrupy body changes as the cup cools.
For greater clarity, compare a paper-filter brew at a similar ratio. If the dark roast tastes bitter or drying, move coarser or use slightly cooler water. If extraction is clean but the cup is too weak, tighten the ratio. Change one variable at a time so filter material, strength and extraction remain distinguishable.
Use a scale for dose and water. Beverage yield, drawdown and contact time are diagnostic measurements rather than goals by themselves. Evaluate body, acidity, clarity and finish together, then make the smallest useful adjustment.
Whole-bean customers can use a consistent grinder such as the Turin DF54 grinder to make controlled adjustments. Prepared grounds are convenient when their particle size matches the brewer, but one fixed grind cannot suit every filter, press and espresso setup.
Who this coffee suits
Choose Takengon Select for a certified organic and Fair Trade dark roast with traceable cooperative and processing information. Tiny Footprint highlights additional drying before parchment removal as a way to preserve clarity while keeping the body associated with its Sumatran profile.
Roast development affects flavor and solubility. A light roast may need more extraction than a dark roast; a darker coffee may respond better to a coarser grind or slightly cooler water. Let the cup guide the recipe.
Freshness, storage and quantity planning
The available quantity includes a bulk option. Five pounds is about 2,268 grams, or roughly 113 twenty-gram brews before dialing waste. Estimate real weekly use before choosing the largest size; a smaller bag is better for establishing the recipe.
Divide bulk coffee into smaller airtight portions, keep one portion active, and store the rest sealed away from heat, moisture, sunlight and strong aromas. Ground coffee has more exposed surface area, so open only one portion at a time.
