Sumatra Mandheling
While this coffee is called Sumatra Mandheling, there is no region with this name - it is a reference to the Mandailing people of the island. The traditional method of processing coffee in Sumatra is known as Giling Basah, or semi-washed, and is a combination of the regular washed and natural processes. This technique reduces the acidity in the bean, makes a heavier body in the cup and creates earthy and tobacco-like flavours. These characteristics hold up and work well in one of our darker roasts.
Since coffee in Sumatra is rarely separated into different lots at origin, the growing altitude varies. We roasted this coffee at 452 degrees to bring out the boldness and flavours of earthiness and malted grain.
Excellent service. Excellent coffee beans. I don’t grind anyone else’s beans.
Delicious stuff!
Excellent coffey beans. Fast delivery !
I'm a coffee snob. I've tried 10 or 15 different micro roasters in the area but keep coming back to Fire Roasted. Delicious and consistent. Buy 5 lbs to basically end up with a free pound. I love all their roasts, Sumatra is my favorite but Bikers Blend also amazing. Forget the rest. Stop here.
I love these beans, my favorite beans from fire roasted coffee which makes sense since all my favorite coffee beans are grown in the region around Indonesia and Papa New Guinea. If you want a good crema on your expresso you absolutely must use freshly roasted beans and fire roasted coffee co always delivers me beautifully rich dark freshly roasted beans.
