Description

Sumatra Mandheling Green Coffee Beans are known for their deep, rich flavour profile and full body, offering a bold cup with low acidity. Grown in the volcanic slopes of Mount Leuser in Sumatra, Indonesia, these beans are ideal for home roasters who appreciate a robust coffee with earthy and spicy notes.

Sumatra Mandheling Origin and Details

  • Country: Indonesia
  • Region: Batak
  • Altitude: 800 - 1,500 meters above sea level
  • Variety: Catimor, Typica
  • Processing Method: Giling Basah (wet-hulled), Sundried

Processing Method and Quality Control

Sumatra Mandheling beans undergo the traditional Giling Basah process, or wet-hulling, which is unique to Indonesia. This method involves hulling the parchment from the beans while they are still wet, resulting in a dark green colour and distinctive earthy flavours. The volcanic soil, combined with this unique process, imparts a full-bodied and complex flavour profile.

Potential Flavour Notes and Characteristics

When roasted, Sumatra Mandheling beans develop a flavour profile with herbal, chocolate, earthy, and woody notes. The coffee has a syrupy, full body with a slightly spicy finish and low acidity, making it perfect for those who enjoy a strong and satisfying cup.

Benefits of Home Coffee Roasting

Roasting Sumatra Mandheling green beans at home allows you to adjust the roast level to bring out different flavours. A lighter roast will highlight the earthy and herbal notes, while a dark roast will amplify the chocolate and spice characteristics.

Important Disclaimer

These are green, unroasted coffee beans and are not suitable for direct grinding or coffee-making. They must be roasted first before they can be brewed and enjoyed as coffee.

Not nice

Been buying my beans from Redber for several years now and these are the first I haven't liked. Roasting was a bit weird as they roasted much quicker than usual and the end result is bitter and unpleasant.

Makes a very good mid to dark roast cup of coffee

Good rich flavour with a slight edge of the bitterness I like. Can be milder is roasted for slightly less time.

Excellent coffee quick delivery

I’ve been a customer of Redber for 18 mths and they have not failed to delivery what I wanted, when I wanted all the way through lock down. Excellent website means I can order from my phone and I’m about to set up a subscription. The green beans are consistently high quality. Marvellous. Redber are to be commended in keeping me supplied throughout the restrictions of the pandemic.

Green Coffee

The website has great details of the coffees on sale. I ordered a sample of green (unroasted) coffee beans to try home roasting. The service was excellent and delivery was very fast. An excellent company which I don't hesitate to recommend.

Spice

Interesting. Big beans. Longer roast. Spice notes might be in my imagination

Good coffee

Its not my favourite bean, but its pretty good. I've had it from the supermarket where they typically roast this until its dark and oily - and fairly nasty. I thought that I would try it as a medium roast and it does taste much much better like that.
Delivery was quick and painless.

Propably bad pack

Tried for espresso and filter. Esp. absolutely ok but on V60 found mold notes. Propably bad pack so 4kg put into bin - can't risk it again...

Great beans - excellent service - recommended!

The Sumatran beans don't give as even a roast as some (for me) with quite a mottled look, but judge with your taste buds rather than eyes because they taste great. Once ground it all looks the same, but I do seem to get more ground coffee from fewer beans. The service from Redber was excellent - highly recommended ,)
