Fair Trade Organic Sumatra Mandheling
One of our most popular roasts! Light grapefruit and sweet pepper flavor with balanced sweetness and a smooth mouthfeel.
This coffee comes from the Lake Toba region, and is a classic Lintong area coffee. Lintongs tend to be distinct from other Mandhelings in that they are spicier and have a little more brightness. However, this coffee takes it a step further. While it is wet-hulled in the usual Sumatra style, the hulling is not done until the coffee reaches 30% moisture content, where as most Sumatra is hulled at 45-50%. This gives it a cleaner cup and accentuates the spicy, bright notes while downplaying the earthiness typical to Mandheling coffees.
