Sumatra Mandheling

Sumatra Mandheling is our dark roast single origin. Earthy, robust and strong, our Sumatra brings a deep and rich burst of flavor with it's full body.

Our Sumatra Mandheling Karo Highlands coffee comes from smallholders in in the district of Paranginan, Humbahas Province in Karo Highlands area. Growers in this region have an average of 0.5 - 1 hectare dedicated to coffee. But with a climate of between 15 - 25 Celsius, favorable soil conditions and a high altitude, conditions are ideal for growing arabica coffee.

Sumatran coffee is truly differentiated because of its unique wet-hulled processing method. The process uses water to remove the cherry's red pulp and mucilage, while also removing the parchment layer in a "wet huller". By removing the parchment layer the bean dries faster, which is beneficial in Indonesia's wet climate. In Grade 1 coffees the process continues with meticulous color sorting to eliminate defective green coffee beans. The wet-hulled process gives Sumatra its signature intense earthy flavors of cedar and tobacco, as well as rich, sweet chocolate. With Sumatra Karo Highlands roasters can dive into the deep, rustic and sweet character of Indonesian coffee.

We taste chocolate, oak, and tobacco.
