Sumatra Viennese Coffee
Sumatra Viennese Coffee: Conductor
Our medium roast Sumatra Viennese Coffee, proudly named Conductor, honors the pioneering spirit of the American Frontier Train Conductors. These dedicated individuals steered trains through rugged landscapes with unwavering determination and leadership. Similarly, our Conductor coffee embodies strength and resilience, delivering a bold and unforgettable cup. The beans for this roast are sourced from the high-altitude Mandheling region on the Indonesian island of Sumatra, renowned for producing some of the world’s finest coffee.
Origin & Farm Information
Grown in the esteemed Mandheling region of Sumatra, our Conductor coffee thrives at elevations between 4,500 to 6,500 feet above sea level. This high-altitude environment promotes slow bean maturation, enhancing the beans' complexity and depth of flavor. The cooler temperatures and rich, volcanic soils contribute to the coffee’s distinctive earthy and herbal profiles while naturally reducing pest populations. As a result, the need for pesticides is significantly minimized. Local farmers employ meticulous hand-picking methods to ensure only the highest quality beans are harvested, preserving the integrity and unique character of each batch.

Our Conductor coffee undergoes a medium roast, carefully calibrated to balance the beans' inherent richness with nuanced flavor development. The roasting process is precisely controlled to bring out the deep, earthy notes characteristic of Sumatra Viennese Coffee without overpowering the natural complexities.
