Washed Sumatra Kampung Kenawat

Adena Coffee Kenawat Mill

This month's Roaster's Choice takes us back to Kampung Kenawat, a village in the Gayo Highlands of Aceh, Sumatra, that we first featured in September 2025. This lot comes from six smallholder farmers near Lake Tawar who grow Typica, Tim-tim, Catimor, and Abyssinia at 1,300 meters. Years of conflict in Aceh left Kenawat with a reputation that kept buyers away. Working with local producer Fahman Yoga, Adena Coffee now gives the village's growers access to financing, processing, and export, and a Kenawat coffee placed ninth in the 2022/2023 Indonesia Cup of Excellence.

Processing is what sets this coffee apart. After depulping, the cherries ferment for three days in a sealed, oxygen-limited environment, inoculated with ragi tape, a yeast starter (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) that Indonesian cooks use to ferment cassava and rice. The coffee is then washed and dried fully in parchment, a different path from the wet-hulled coffees Sumatra is known for. The result is a medium roast with a mild body and fruit up front: juicy watermelon and prickly pear, finishing with the mellow sweetness of honeycomb.

What is Roaster's Choice?

Roaster’s Choice is our curated journey through the world of specialty coffee—featuring exceptional microlots from celebrated coffee-growing regions. Each month, our team selects a standout single origin coffee that highlights the unique flavor, terroir, and craftsmanship of its origin. These small-batch selections are thoughtfully chosen for their character, traceability, and craftsmanship.

Roasted with care in our eco-friendly facility, every bag (or pod) is dialed in to bring out the best in each bean—from floral Ethiopian complexity to rich, chocolatey Central American profiles. Your coffee is roasted and shipped on the second Wednesday of every month—a new country, a new flavor story, delivered fresh to your door.

Bolivia roast

"This roast was not what I am used to in coffee. I could probably get used to it but it is not my favorite"

— Joel S. (4/5)

Roaster's Choice is My Choice

"We received our first order from the Roaster's Choice subscription - Nicaragua Finca Oconor. Excellent coffee. I love the berry notes and the earthy creaminess. Very smooth, a lot of flavor, and the aroma fills the kitchen. I'm almost out and a little sad but happy that the next one comes in a couple of weeks. I look forward to trying a new one every month. The quality of FRC is always top notch."

Love the variety!

"We thoroughly enjoy our roasters choice yearly coffee subscription. We look forward to the special coffee we receive each month and we have enjoyed it each time. We order our everyday and special coffee from Fresh Roasted as the choices are outstanding and the service is impeccable. The yearly subscription just makes sure that we are constantly trying new coffees as well and we both look forward to the arrival of the special coffee of the month. We got started with a six month gift subscription from our son who introduced us to Fresh Roasted and we have continued to renew each year."

Q&A

I am interested in joining this, but will I miss out on the current Ethiopia Yirgacheffe since it's the last day of the month?
You won’t miss out on this outstanding Yirgacheffe! Roaster’s Choice coffees are roasted on the second Wednesday of each month so to be included in the February shipment, join on or before Tuesday, February 13th.
I would like to get this as a birthday gift for my son, but he will be moving sometime during the year. Is this a problem and how much notice to change the address?
Hello! Yes, we can change out addresses for Roasters Choice. Please let us know before the 2nd Tuesday of the month, as that is when the shipments are processed for those subscriptions. Have a great day!
When does the first order usually ship? I purchase March 10th but have not received my first shipment yet
Hello! This ships the 2nd Wednesday of every month. If your first order is placed after that date, your first subscription item will be sent the following month. Team FRC
I’d love to join the club, but I only drink light roast coffee. Will the other months include dark roast coffee?
Hello Rachel! Due to the delicate nature of most of the coffees we procure for roaster's choice the highest roast level we would take them to is a medium. Team FRC
