Sumatra Mandheling

$18.00

Cupping Notes:

This crop of Sumatra Mandheling has all the characteristics you would expect -- low acid, flashes of bitter with sweet, bourbon-like complexity, herbal notes, spice, smooth, rich, not musty, great lingering aftertaste. This is grade 1 Sumatra but don't expect that to mean that the beans will look pretty.  Sumatra Mandheling is not sorted by size, and you will find the broken beans and defects that are typical for this coffee. 

The rich full body in darker roasts make it a crowd favorite, and this lot has a nice balance of flavor and forest notes. Take it dark and you get complexity, body, and smoky characteristics with tobacco and hints of spices and roots.  Keep it more of a medium roast and you get sweeter and more pronounced herbal notes (think sarsaparilla root or licorice root).

Good For: Medium to Dark roasts are best. Also good for blends.
