Café de Sumatra

This coffee from the Asia-Pacific region is one of the great unknowns in the production of Arabica and specialty coffee. But this region is also part of the coffee belt and produces spectacular coffees, though they are very different from those of the Americas or Africa.

These coffees have lots of body, feel heavier, and are very sweet, with low acidity and spicy flavors. Aromas of wood and wet earth… are what to look for in a good Asian coffee. This washed coffee from the island of Sumatra in Indonesia is a good example. Its name, Mandheling, comes from the ethnic group that has traditionally grown and processed coffee in the north of the island, the Mandailling.

A coffee with flavors that are distinctly Asia-Pacific: exotic, with spicy notes such as clove, but also fruity notes like blueberry, perfect for any brewing method.

A coffee for those who already know the flavors of more traditional origins and are looking for something different and surprising.
