👨🌾 The Story Behind the Coffee
Indonesian coffee is shaped by volcanoes. Many of the islands in the Malay Archipelago (Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi) are mountainous with rich soil, ideal for coffee. Only around 15% of Indonesia’s coffee is Arabica.
Mandheling coffee is grown on volcanic slopes near port Padang in west-central Sumatra, and it’s famous for a processing style that is very characteristic of Sumatran coffee: Giling Basah. This traditional wet-hulling method removes parchment when the coffee is still around 50% moisture (versus the 10–12% you’d see elsewhere). The result is that signature body and flavour depth, often with herbal nuance, spice, and those darker, syrupy notes.
This lot is Grade 1, Triple-Picked, meaning it’s hand-picked three times for defects, which pushes consistency way up and keeps only cherries at optimum ripeness in the mix.
