Sourced from smallholder farms and processed using the island’s traditional wet-hulling (Giling Basah) method, this dark-roasted coffee delivers a uniquely intense, rustic, and comforting cup. 🌍 Origin & Grower Information Region: Aceh & Lintong, Northern Sumatra, Indonesia Elevation: 1,200 – 1,500 meters above sea level (MASL) Varietals: Typica, Bourbon, Catimor Farming Practices: Grown by small cooperative farms, shade-grown under forest canopy, organically cultivated without synthetic chemicals Processing: Wet-Hulled (Giling Basah), sun-dried on patios The combination of high elevation, rich volcanic soil, and humid tropical climate promotes slow cherry development and dense bean structure—ideal for deep roasting and bold extraction. 🔬 Traditional Sumatran Wet-Hulling Process (Giling Basah) Sumatra’s signature wet-hulling method involves removing the parchment layer while the bean still retains high moisture content (about 30–40%). This process accelerates drying and imparts the distinct earthy, spicy profile that defines Sumatran coffees. Wet-hulling also produces a uniquely greenish-blue hue in the raw bean and a heavy-bodied, syrupy flavor when roasted. ☕ Tasting Notes – Earthy Elegance in Every Sip This dark roast Sumatra Mandheling is defined by its depth, structure, and smoothness.
