The Unique Sumatran Terroir

The distinctive growing conditions of Northern Sumatra contribute directly to this coffee’s robust and unique flavor profile.

Volcanic Soil: Grown in rich volcanic loam soils, a balanced mix of sand, silt, and clay, the coffee flourishes in the region's ideal climate.
Rich, Full-Bodied Cup: This terroir results in a rich, full-bodied cup with smoky undertones that is characteristic of the best Sumatran coffees.

Recommended Brewing Method

Given its deep complexity, rich body, and savory spice notes, this coffee shines in brewing methods that highlight its intensity and texture:

Best for Espresso: The Dark Chocolate and Plum notes create a powerful, structured espresso with a creamy mouthfeel, cutting through milk beautifully for a bold latte or cappuccino.

Excellent for French Press: This immersion method enhances the inherent rich, full body and pulls forward the smoky undertones and Black Pepper finish for a truly robust and savory cup.

Great for Pour-Over: A slower brew can beautifully articulate the subtle Plum notes and Dark Chocolate base, offering a complex yet clean drinking experience.

About The Roastery

Mont58 Coffee is the passion project of husband-and-wife team, Shai and Maya. Their journey began quite literally at home in 2018, when they took the plunge and jacked in their full-time jobs to start roasting coffee in a humble garden shed in South-East London. Shai, whose passion for coffee was sparked by childhood memories of drinking cardamom-spiced coffee with his grandfather, honed his craft on a tiny 250g machine.

This small-batch venture quickly took off, especially during the lockdown when the local community wholeheartedly embraced their door-to-door, bike-delivered coffee.

While they have since scaled up to a larger roastery in Ashford, Kent, and opened further sites, the spirit of that original shed, small business, big heart, remains central to their award-winning, ethical, and community-focused mission. It's a proper 'started from the ground up' success story, but with significantly better beans.
