Indonesia's volcanic islands offer ideal coffee-growing conditions due to their mountainous terrain and rich soil. Notably, the Malay Archipelago's Sumatra, Sulawesi, and Java yield renowned coffee types, with Sumatra Mandheling thriving on Mount Leuser's volcanic slopes.
Introduced by the Dutch in the 19th century, Indonesian coffee rose to prominence but faced setbacks from disease and World War II.
The unique Giling Basah process distinguishes Sumatra Mandheling, resulting in a rich, low-acidity flavor with herbal and spicy hints.
Grade 1 Sumatras, acquired as Double-Picked or Triple-Picked, showcase a rigorous defect-removal method that guarantees a consistent and outstanding cup.
