Origin and Varieties
Grown in the volcanic highlands of Sumatra, Indonesia, Sumatra Mandheling is one of the most distinguished Arabica coffees in the world. Cultivated at elevations between 1,100 and 1,500 meters, this coffee thrives in the region’s humid climate and nutrient-rich soil, which contribute to its distinctive profile. The name "Mandheling" originates from the Mandailing people, an ethnic group in Sumatra historically involved in coffee cultivation.
Flavor Profile and Notes
Sumatra Mandheling is celebrated for its full-bodied richness, low acidity, and deep, complex flavors. Our dark roast version intensifies its signature earthy and chocolatey notes, creating a smooth yet bold experience. The coffee reveals hints of dark chocolate, caramelized nuts, and subtle herbal undertones, with a buttery, almost syrupy mouthfeel that lingers pleasantly on the palate.
Processing Methods
This coffee undergoes the traditional Giling Basah (wet-hulling) process, a method unique to Indonesia. In this process, the parchment layer is removed when the beans still contain a significant amount of moisture, resulting in a distinctively heavy body, muted acidity, and rich, earthy flavors. The combination of humid conditions and this specialized processing technique gives Sumatra Mandheling its characteristic smooth yet bold intensity.
Brewing Methods
Sumatra Mandheling’s robust body and deep flavors make it ideal for various brewing methods. It shines in French press and espresso, where its syrupy mouthfeel and chocolatey depth are fully expressed. Pour-over methods like V60 or Chemex can highlight its herbal and nutty nuances, while a Moka pot enhances its bold, intense character. Due to its low acidity, it is also excellent for cold brew, delivering a naturally sweet and velvety cup.
