FrontStreet Coffee · Indonesia Golden Mandheling

Although FrontStreet Coffee's Golden Mandheling is a processed Mandheling product, besides flavor, bean size has become a focus of attention. As green bean prices become increasingly expensive, green bean suppliers have become particularly concerned about maintaining bean appearance and size. So how do you select "Golden Mandheling"?

Cupping, cupping, and finally, cupping.

For FrontStreet Coffee, the bean size of our Golden Mandheling is not our primary concern. If the flavor is flat and doesn't align with FrontStreet Coffee's consistent style, we would rather let it be out of stock.

This batch of FrontStreet Coffee's Golden Mandheling is a new shipment that arrived in May, belonging to the 2017 new crop. The appearance remains large-sized, and its volume during roasting is comparable to large-bean varieties like Pacamara. The main flavor profile features Golden Mandheling's unique spiced sweetness and rich oil sensation. Dark roasting reveals chocolate flavors, while the herbal sweetness in medium-light roasts is delicate. The aftertaste remains long and smooth. Connoisseurs who love Golden Mandheling shouldn't miss this!
