From Gayo Highlands to SEA
Seattle made dark, heavy coffee famous, and SEA is our nod to it: deep, full-bodied and a little wild, in evergreen green.
It comes from the Gayo Highlands of Aceh, Sumatra, where farmers hull their coffee while it's still damp, a method called wet hulling that's used almost only in Indonesia. That gives it an earthy depth, and a bold roast adds blackberry, cedar and toffee.

Frequently asked questions
What is wet-hulled coffee?
Wet hulling, or giling basah, removes the parchment layer while the beans are still damp. It's used almost only in Indonesia and gives Sumatran coffees their low acidity, heavy body and earthy, cedar-like notes.
Is SEA good for French press?
It's one of the best fits. A French press keeps the oils and the heavy body; start at 1:15 with a coarse grind and a 4-minute steep.
How fresh is it?
It's roasted within days and shipped fast. Keep the bag sealed, away from light and heat, and grind just before you brew.
Is it whole bean or ground?
Whole beans only: coffee stays fresh longest when you grind it right before brewing. Our coffee-to-water ratio guide shows the grind for each brewer.
How much is shipping?
US shipping is free on orders of $49 or more, which is any 3 of these bags. Smaller orders ship for a flat $6.95.
