Sumatra Longberry with wajik brown sticky rice cake

September 22, 2015 by jocelyn Leave a Comment

Sumatra Longberry

Sumatra is my favorite core coffee, and I love how rich and smooth it is, the flavors of earth and herbs in a cup. It is something I look forward to every single day. When I heard a Sumatra was coming to the roastery, I was very excited. I knew nothing about it, but I just assumed it would be along the same vein as core or even aged Sumatra. I was so wrong. I took my first slurp and was blown away at how sweet this coffee was, with layers of milk chocolate and toffee. Completely different, but completely amazing. This quickly became one of my favorite offerings on the clover and I wanted to create something as surprising as this coffee.

Sumatra Longberry

The term ‘longberry’ is actually the varietal of this coffee. By looking at the beans side by side, you can see how longberry got its name. These beans remind me of a large grain of rice, long and slender. This longberry comes from the Wahana estate, which started experimenting with this varietal a few years ago with great success. Sumatra longberry is a fully washed coffee with floral and citrus notes, complimented by silky milk chocolate.

While researching Indonesian food for my Komodo Dragon tasting, I came across wajik.. which literally translates to diamond, a sticky rice cake. The recipe called for pandan leaves and durian, flavors which would not work, but what if i left them out and added some caramelized sugar on top? The original plan was to dip them in milk chocolate, but I fell in love with the simplicity of the flavors, so decided to leave the chocolate out. The result is a bite size sticky rice cake with a syrupy sweetness that matches with Sumatra Longberry perfectly. Although next time I will dip them in chocolate 😉

Just smelling coffee can wake you up. The aroma of coffee can alter the activity of some genes in the brain, reducing the effects of sleep deprivation. And when you do drink that cup of coffee, caffeine reaches your blood quickly.
