Sumatra - Gayo Mountain

Sumatra Mandheling (Fair Trade, shade grown) is grown on the slopes of Mount Leuser, a volcano near the port of Padang, in the Batak area of Aceh. This is home to one of the most ancient and bio-rich ecosystems on the planet. Mandheling coffees are named in honor of the Mandailing people.

This coffee is grown in the environmentally sensitive buffer zone to Gunung Leusser National Park, which is a sanctuary for endangered species. Being a rare coffee from the Central District of Aceh, better known as Gayo land, it is full bodied with a spice-like aroma, smooth dry flavor, and is low in acidity.

This area was formed by volcanic activity. Their mineral-rich soil—fortified with volcanic ash and diverse plant life—has helped to make Indonesia's coffees among the most famous and celebrated around the world.

All our imported coffee starts with the highest quality beans. We custom roast, blend and infuse our coffee by hand.

Cupping Notes: sweet tobacco, chocolate and spice notes.
