About Roasting Plant | Sumatra Single Origin | Sumatra

Roasting plant is a series of coffee roasters in London with a unique twist to what is usually found in a roastery. It all started back in a garage in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Where the founder Mike had an idea to manufacture a cup of coffee in-store from scratch. Mike, an industrial engineer by trade used his Grandmothers old vacuum cleaner to whip up a prototype of a machine that could automatically roast and transport coffee around a shop by means of air pressure in clear tubes. The invention evolved from an old hoover into a network of coffee roasters and tubes that can be seen in each store. “Each cafe is equipped with a coffee roaster aptly named the javabot and can purchase coffee that is roasted in front of their eyes. ”

Coffee Origin

The Sumatran coffee from Roasting Plant hails from the Bener Meriah farming group in Central Aceh, Indonesia.

The farms in the cooperative produce 100% shade grown coffee, this is the hallmark of environmental sustainability in coffee. The coffee farms grow their trees amongst other species of indigenous trees that were either already there before the farm or planted to promote a healthy ecosystem.

This not only produces coffee that occasionally offers unique complexities because of the influence of other plants but also helps the local wildlife thrive. Unfortunately shade grown coffee is fairly rare because of its lower yield, however, higher prices paid at the consumer level for shade grown coffee helps to encourage farmers to opt shade grown.

What To Expect

The Sumatran coffee from Roasting plant started with a rich and surprisingly sweet fragrance, notes of liquorish and dark chocolate spill into the aroma of the brewing coffee.
