Sumatra Mandheling Medium/Dark Roast

Sumatra Mandheling Grade 1 Double Picked

This Sumatra Mandheling coffee is a classic example of high-quality Indonesian coffee, known for its low acidity, heavy body and distinctive earthy character. Grown in the Mandailing region of North Sumatra, this Grade 1 lot has been double picked, meaning the beans are hand-sorted twice to improve uniformity and reduce defects. This results in a cleaner, more consistent cup when compared with standard Sumatra coffee offerings.

Origin and Processing

Sumatra’s humid climate makes traditional washed processing difficult, so the coffee is prepared using the local wet-hulling method (Giling Basah). This technique removes the parchment while the beans still retain moisture, producing the familiar deep, rounded profile associated with Mandheling coffee. The volcanic soils and high altitudes further contribute to its rich, full-bodied character.

Best Brewing Methods
