Notes on Sumatra Mandheling
The island of Sumatra in Indonesia continues to be one of the most popular specialty coffees available. Renowned for its unique flavor profile, Sumatra has become a mainstay of Inland Empire Coffee's menu as well as a key component of a number of our blends.
We roast Sumatra Mandheling both Full City and French. A Full City roast accentuates the sweet and subtle fruit nuances, while the French Roast exploits the low acidity and tendencies toward earth, leather and tobacco. Serve this coffee to a room full of red wine lovers at the end of a meal. Its smooth and heavy profile will pair well with strong liqueurs, dense cakes or a prized cigar.

Origin Notes
Coffees from Mandheling are semi-washed in the tradition of Sumatra. The fruit is removed from the bean while still fresh. After a quick fermentation and washed to release a bit of the residual fruit, the beans are dried and ready for export. The green beans are so fresh and clean they resemble small pieces of jade or sandblasted, blue-green glass. Their clean aromas are reminiscent if the shade-covered jungles they came from. Sumatra is a truly unique coffee origin.

Cupping Notes
Smooth, and heavy body with sweet earthy notes and fruity aromas. Low in acidity with notes of tobacco, smoky wood and leather dominate the cup.
