Universally recognized as one of the world’s most sought after coffees, our Mandheling comes from a region called Gayoland in northwest Sumatra. Named for the people who inhabit the area and nurture this rare coffee, it is grown on very small farms—no more than 3-5 acres—under native shade trees in the Gayo mountains at elevations exceeding 3,800 feet. Each grower processes his own coffee, then sun-dries the beans on handmade drying tables. They are then double hand-sorted before being sold to the world’s most discerning coffee buyers. Our Sumatra Organic coffee is very full-bodied, with intense aroma and flavor that reverberates with an earthy, smoky and fruity complexity. For those enchanted by moonlit nights and the dark secrets of the East Indies, Sumatra Mandheling will fuel your reverie.
