Sumatra Mandheling (Giling Basah Grade 1)
The Heavyweight: Sumatra Mandheling (Grade 1 Triple-Picked) The Process: Our Mandheling is crafted using the traditional Giling Basah (Wet-Hulling) method, a unique Indonesian technique born from the misty rainforests of North Sumatra.

The Health Factor: Naturally low in acidity and easy on the stomach, this is the ultimate choice for coffee lovers who want a bold cup without the "jittery" stomach feel of bright, high-acid African roasts. The Profile: Primary Notes: Dark Chocolate, Earthy, and Sweet Tobacco. Body: Heavy, syrupy, and "butter-like" mouthfeel. Terroir: Grown in the mineral-rich volcanic soil of Mount Leuser at 1,500m elevat
