Sumatra

The Mandheling region in North Sumatra, Indonesia, is renowned for its distinctive Arabica coffee production. Nestled in mountainous terrain with rich volcanic soil, the area's unique geography contributes to the exceptional quality of Mandheling coffee, known for its full body and earthy, chocolatey flavors. Beyond coffee, the region is home to diverse communities with rich cultural traditions, making Mandheling a sought-after destination for both coffee enthusiasts and those seeking a glimpse into local heritage.

This coffee is sourced from various farmers in the Mandheling region of Sumatra. The Wet-Hulled coffee processing method involves harvesting ripe coffee cherries, pulping them to remove the outer skin, and allowing the beans to ferment briefly. Following fermentation, the beans are washed to remove mucilage and then sun-dried to reduce moisture content. A distinctive feature of the Wet-Hulled process is the removal of parchment (husk) when the beans are still relatively wet, with around 30-50% moisture content.

The resulting cup reminds us of roasted sugar, cream and dark chocolate.

Strong earthy flavour. Irregular beans and bag was full crushed and shattered beans. If you like robust coffee you’ll love it. A bit too deep and smokey for me.
