Roaster's Special: Gayo, Sumatra – 12 oz

Most coffee is treated with pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, chemical fertilizers – and a lot of other toxic stuff that you definitely don’t want to be consuming.

Fabula is tested for +350 chemical compounds, toxins and mold at the best independent laboratories. It’s guaranteed clean. Our coffee is low in acidity, so it is gentle on your system.

No more jitters, tummy burns or weird sensations after consuming coffee.

“Fabula” means story. We believe every bean has a story to tell, connected to the regions, history, environments, and their farmers. This limited release is a wet-hulled processed coffee, a method completely unique to Indonesia. 

Coffees from Sumatra are regarded highly for their rustic intensity: flavors that would feel out of place in a cup of Colombian or Kenyan coffee just land on the palate as fitting and at home in a cup of Sumatra. Wet-hulling, or “giling basah” in the native Bahasa language, is one big reason why.

Wet hulling is a process devised in Sumatra and adopted throughout the region as a solution to rainy, humid conditions that make drying green coffee a challenge. Typically, farmers depulp freshly picked coffee cherries, ferment overnight, and wash the seeds before selling to a mill or collector only partially dried. 

Where our coffee comes from is important. We proudly provide the very highest grade, single-origin coffee beans in the world. You can taste its origin, intricate and complex characteristics, just like in the world of fine wines.

Finding great coffees is like a hunting for treasures. The best coffees come from remote areas, grown deep inside the jungle, at high altitudes. There often is no infrastructure. No paved roads. There are mudslides. Heavy rainfalls... But the coffee... oh, it is worth it.

At Fabula, we do not mess with perfection.
