The Details
Sumatra Mandheling coffee is smooth and full-bodied with a rich and complex taste. While the coffee is grown in the Mandheling region of Sumatra, it gets its name from the Mandheling people of Sumatra rather than the region itself. The beans are grown in volcanic soil and in a tropical climate as well as at a lower altitude than most coffees.

Processing Method
Sumatra Mandheling coffee is processed using the Giling Basah method (meaning “wet grinding” in the Bahasa language of Indonesia) also known as the wet-hulled method (not to be confused with the wet or washed process method). In this process, the coffee cherry is first put through a hand crank to remove the skin. The coffee with the cherry still intact is then fermented overnight, after which the cherry is removed. The mucilage and parchment layers of the bean are still left over. The mucilage is then washed away but the parchment is left, and the beans are dried. Once the drying process is complete and the beans have hardened, they are hulled to remove the layer of parchment. This method of processing produces a coffee with a heavier body.
