Origin Story

Grown in Mandheling:

The Mandheling region of Sumatra is renowned for its rich volcanic soils, high altitudes, and unique climate that create perfect growing conditions for coffee. Located in northern Sumatra, the region’s humid conditions and fertile land produce coffee beans that are deeply earthy with complex flavors.

The coffee is cultivated using traditional methods, often involving wet hulling, a process that helps develop the coffee’s signature full body and earthy undertones. This, combined with the region’s dedication to sustainability, results in coffee that’s not only rich in flavor but also produced with respect for the environment.

Roasting Process

Light Roast Technique:

Our Sumatra Mandheling Light Roast is carefully roasted to allow the beans’ complex flavors to shine through. Unlike darker roasts, a light roast enhances the inherent brightness and acidity, while preserving the earthy and herbal notes that make this coffee unique. The roasting process highlights the natural tropical fruit sweetness and spices, creating a coffee that is aromatic and vibrant without sacrificing the characteristic depth of Mandheling coffee.

Expert Craftsmanship:

Skilled roasters carefully monitor every batch to ensure that the delicate balance of acidity and earthy flavors is achieved. The beans are roasted at lower temperatures, allowing their natural oils and aromas to emerge without overpowering the coffee’s more subtle characteristics. The result is a well-balanced, smooth cup with a refreshing, lively finish.
