In this video, we explore the distinctive qualities of Sumatra Mandheling coffee, renowned for its rich, full-bodied flavor profile. Sourced from high-altitude plantations in North Sumatra, Indonesia, this coffee is made from Arabica beans that are processed using a unique wet hulling method, known locally as giling basa. This technique imparts a bold taste with herbal, spicy, and sometimes chocolatey notes, while maintaining a lower acidity for a smooth experience. Sumatra Mandheling coffee is also notable for its ethical and organic farming practices, often being fair trade certified. Versatile in brewing methods, it’s a favorite among coffee enthusiasts for its complex flavor and sustainability.
