Origin from the Volcanic Highlands of Sumatra

Giling Basah, the traditional Sumatran method of processing coffee, involves hulling the parchment off the bean at roughly 50 percent moisture content, versus at the 10 to 12 percent moisture that’s common elsewhere.

Indonesia is an archipelago of more than 17,000 islands, and Sumatra is the second largest of these. The islands were formed by volcanic activity, and their mineral-rich soil—fortified with volcanic ash and diverse plant life—has helped to make Indonesia’s coffees among the most famous and celebrated around the world.

Indonesia 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 are named in honor of the Mandailing people, an ethnic group in the Batak area who goes by this second spelling.

Triple Pick (TP) for Superior Quality

TP stands for Triple Pick, which refers to the number of times the beans are hand-sorted to remove defects.

This additional quality control process ensures:

• Better bean consistency
• Only optimally ripe cherries are selected
• Cleaner and more balanced flavors
• Higher overall cup quality

Through careful handpicking and sorting, every batch of Sumatra Mandheling coffee delivers a dependable and enjoyable coffee experience.

Traditional Giling Basah Processing Method

One of the defining characteristics of Sumatran coffee is the traditional Giling Basah process, also known as wet hulling.

Unlike conventional methods where beans are dried to 10-12% moisture before hulling, Giling Basah removes the parchment layer when the beans still contain approximately 50% moisture.

This unique processing technique contributes to:

• Rich body and mouthfeel
• Smooth texture
• Complex sweetness
• Distinctive herbal nuances
• Balanced acidity

The Giling Basah method is one of the reasons why Indonesian coffee from Sumatra possesses such a unique identity.
