In Sumatra near the city of Lae Mungkur farm owner PT Sarimakur cultivates this Rasuna varietal. This is a rare find in Indonesia where traceability in coffee is often extremely difficult. On the Wahana estate at an altitude of 1300-1500 meters only the ripe cherries are picked and go through the washing process. Rasuna a varietal hybrid of the highly productive Catimor and the long producing, complex cup profile Typica varietals create a harmonious integration of these two coffee’s best aspects.

A big thank you to all of our customers and coffee friends for your support in 2009. This past busy year, we are proud to have launched our in-house roastery, opened our third cafe in Park Slope and won TONY’s Eat Out Award. We are also appreciative of simple moments we had like sharing conversations over tasty warm beverages with friends and co-workers.

We are looking forward to a great 2010 with more house-roasted coffees (including a gem from Colombia coming in January), guest coffees from our friends around the country, extended hours and more adventures.

We are open in Chelsea and Park Slope until 6pm on New Years Eve and will re-open at all three locations at 8am sharp on January 2nd, 2010.

Wishing you all a happy, peaceful and successful New Year from all of us at Café Grumpy!
