3. The Story Behind Mandailing Coffee: A Sumatra Legacy

Named after the Mandailing ethnic group of Sumatra, this coffee is deeply rooted in culture and geography. Grown in high-altitude mountains enriched by volcanic soil, Mandailing coffee thrives in the tropical climate of the Pacific Ring of Fire.

Why Mandailing coffee is unique:

• Grown at high altitudes with cooler temperatures
• Nurtured in volcanic soil, enhancing earthy flavours
• Wet-hull processed, a traditional Sumatra technique
• Full-bodied with low acidity, ideal for bold coffee drinkers
• Complex spice and herbal notes unique to the origin

The wet-hull process (locally known as Giling Basah) is a signature of Sumatran coffee. This traditional approach gives kopi Mandailing its signature earthy depth, syrupy body, and rich aromatic character that cannot be replicated elsewhere.
