Island Essence – Bold Sumatra Coffee Single Serve Pods

Bold & Smooth Sumatra Coffee from the Indonesian Highlands

High in the misty mountains of Indonesia lies Sumatra — a region where volcanic soil, lush forests, and centuries-old coffee traditions converge. From this fertile land comes Island Essence, a Sumatra coffee that captures the depth, warmth, and richness of its origins.

Our beans are grown on select highland farms and harvested by hand to ensure the highest quality. Using the traditional wet-hulling process, the coffee develops its signature earthy body and complex aroma. Every sip reflects the jungle’s depth, the mineral-rich soil, and the spirit of the island itself.

Why You’ll Love Island Essence

We roast in small batches to highlight the natural character of these Sumatran beans, producing a bold yet balanced cup with a smooth finish. Its naturally low acidity makes it gentle on the stomach, while still offering a full, satisfying flavor.

Packaged in convenient single-serve pods, Island Essence makes it easy to enjoy café-quality coffee at home or at work — without sacrificing freshness or flavor.

About the Region

Sumatra, one of Indonesia’s largest islands, is renowned for producing some of the world’s most distinctive coffees. The combination of tropical climate, high elevation, and volcanic soil creates beans with exceptional body and character. Local farmers, many from small family-owned plots, pass down traditional farming and processing methods through generations.

This unique environment — along with the wet-hulling process — is what gives Sumatran coffee its unmistakable flavor profile: bold, earthy, and smooth with a lingering finish.
