Sumatra Golden Mandheling

Origin: Mandheling growing region, North Sumatra Province, Sumatra, Indonesia.

 

Background:

Sumatra Mandheling is one of the finest of the traditional Arabica coffees Indonesia offers. It is grown in the northern part of Sumatra. Mandheling is the traditional market name for coffee grown in the region around Lake Toba in north-central Sumatra. Like many single-malt whiskies, Mandhelings gain much of their interest from odd or ambiguous flavor notes: earth, mild mustiness, slightly fermented fruit.

 

Assessment: 

The aroma is earthy with a hint of pipe tobacco and chocolate, together with buttery, candyish top notes. In the cup full-bodied, with pungent, moist earth tones and crisp, low-acid fruit notes suggesting pear and cherry. The pungent tones smooth out in a sweetly rich finish.

 

The remarkable flavours of this Sumatra coffee deliver a big, bold cup of coffee that reflects the time and care that have been put into it.
