Sumatra Mandheling

Sumatra Mandheling (pronounced 'Mandailing') has a flavor profile that is exotic, earthy, bright and with a clean (low) acidity. The earthy flavor can be mossy, funky, and mushroomy or soily - which sounds odd but is delicious.

We carry the best Sumatran coffees, which are grown above 1,100 meters and fully develop these unique flavors.

It has a heavy and complex body. 

Indonesian coffees are harvested May through September and wet hulled, producing about 600,000 60-kg bags annually.

From Indonesia the Mandheling actually refers to an ethnic group and not a specific region but is now associated with specific cupping qualities. Most Mandheling coffees come from the Aceh (or Gayo) region in the northern part.

At one point thought to be lost these Arabica beans are now one of the most well recognized high grade coffee beans in the world. It's so popular in fact, that it's now the third largest coffee producer in the world.

Reviews of Sumatra Mandheling coffee are nearly entirely positive with consumers particularly enjoying it in a dark roast.
