Aged Golden Mandheling

Aged coffee actually has a long history in Indonesia. Due to early shipping not being as developed, transporting coffee from Indonesia to other countries required considerable time. Over time, originally moisture-rich fresh coffee beans gradually dried, and the exposure to sea winds added quite a special flavor. With the advancement of modern shipping significantly reducing transportation time, this type of special-flavored coffee has become a specially processed coffee bean.

Processing aged beans is a technical skill that requires close monitoring during the aging process. The warehouse's humidity and temperature must meet standard requirements, and the green coffee beans must be periodically turned to prevent differences in humidity levels between top and bottom or spoilage due to mold. The aging process is not about losing flavor but creating another kind of flavor—an enjoyable one.
