02 — Origin

Wet-hulled, the Sumatran way.

The Mandailing region of North Sumatra is famous for giling basah, the wet-hulled process unique to Indonesia. Because the parchment is hulled while still moist, Sumatran coffee develops its signature deep body, low acidity and earthy, spicy character.

After pulping, the beans rest overnight in their own mucilage, are washed, then dried only briefly before hulling at high moisture. This lot is “triple picked” — sorted and cleaned three times — for a clean, defect-free G1 grade. The result is a rich, comforting cup with dark chocolate, herbal spice and a full, syrupy mouthfeel.

06 — FAQ

Good questions.

Everything drinkers ask before their first bag. Still curious? Read the full FAQ →

How fresh is the coffee when it arrives?+

Every bag is roasted to order at our Kuala Lumpur roastery and ships within 24 hours of roasting. Domestic orders typically arrive 1–3 business days after dispatch.

When is the coffee at its best?+

Beans need about 5 to 7 days to degas, then hold their peak from 7 to 30 days after the roast date printed on the bag. Keep the bag sealed, somewhere dark and room-temperature — never in the fridge.

How does the subscription work?+

Pick your coffee, size and rhythm. Shipping is free on every Malaysian delivery, and you can skip, swap or cancel anytime. FIRSTTASTE takes 15% off your first three shipments.

What if I don't like it?+

Tell us and we'll replace it free, no questions asked. We would rather you found your coffee than kept one you don't love.

Where do you ship?+

Free shipping from RM80 in Peninsular Malaysia and RM150 in East Malaysia. We also ship to Singapore (free from RM200), Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Australia, the UK and most of Europe — rates calculated at checkout.
