About Mandheling Coffee

Mandheling coffee is produced in Sumatra, Asian Indonesia, also known as "Sumatra coffee." It has a very rich flavor, aromatic, bitter, and full-bodied with a hint of sweetness. Most coffee enthusiasts generally drink it as a single origin, but it's also an indispensable variety for blending mixed coffee. Since Mandheling coffee beans themselves lack acidic characteristics, they are often used as a base for special brewing methods. Whether kept warm for extended periods or used to make iced coffee, they don't develop the unpleasant acidic taste. After roasting, the beans are quite large, with raw beans appearing brown or dark green, possessing a caramel-like special aroma, and delivering a fragrant, rich, and full-bodied taste.

Golden Mandheling

Over a decade ago, the Japanese adopted stricter quality control, using four rounds of manual bean selection to remove defective beans, producing Golden Mandheling with dark green color and uniform bean appearance. This created another wave of market demand, driving even Europe and America crazy for it.

Aged Mandheling

Characterized by its honey-like sweetness. Successful aged beans eliminate the less elegant acidity of Mandheling. The acidic components mature and convert to sugars, making the coffee rounder and sweeter when consumed. Failed aged Mandheling is like coffee zombies, with taste that's difficult to drink.
