Repetition Coffee

About This Coffee

Harimau Tiger is a wet-hulled coffee from Aceh in northern Sumatra, Indonesia. Processed using the traditional Giling Basah method—depulped, partially dried, and hulled at high moisture—it showcases earthy, savory, and herbal flavors characteristic of the region. Grown on the volcanic slopes of the Barisan Mountains near Lake Taboa by smallholder farmers (95% of whom cultivate about one hectare each, with 80% being women). The coffee offers a cleaner, sweeter cup profile compared to typical Sumatran coffees.

Repetition Coffee

Amy Pope founded Repetition Coffee in 2014 out of her garage in Lawrence, Kansas, after spending a decade living and working abroad in Japan, Spain, Türkiye, and France. That international perspective, combined with a master's degree in international relations focused on trade, shapes how she approaches sourcing: directly from ethical producers, with a particular focus on farms and cooperatives owned and run by women. The roastery now operates from a 4,500 square foot facility powered entirely by solar panels, with production running on a Diedrich IR 12 roaster. Repetition earned a bronze medal at the North American Golden Bean Competition and a 2019 Diedrich Roasters Scholarship from the Coffee Roasters Guild. The name says it all: quality comes from doing the work again and again.
