Indonesian Sumatra Mandheling Grade 1

Sumatra Mandheling is grown on the slopes of Mount Leuser, a volcano near the port of Padang, in the Batak area of Aceh. The Leuser Range is said to be home to one of the most ancient and bio-rich ecosystems on the planet. Mandheling coffees pretty consistently feature notes of chocolate, cedar, sweet tobacco and spice notes, along with a mild or winey acidity and creamy body.
