Sumatra Mandheling coffee is grown on the lofty volcanic slopes of Mount Leuser near the port of Padang in the Balak region of west-central Sumatra.Ĭoffee trees were originally brought to Indonesia in the early 19th century by the Dutch, who sought to break the world-wide Arabic monopoly on the cultivation of coffee. Approximately 15% of all the coffee grown in Indonesia is Arabica. Sumatra is the second largest islandof the Republic of Indonesia. It is no wonder that some of the world’s most famous coffees are grown on the islands of the Malay Archipelago of Indonesia: Sumatra, Sulawesi, and Java.

Keep in mind, our “dark roast” is not taken to a burnt nugget. Sumatra is one of our “darker” roasts served in the shop daily. Indonesia is known for it’s unique way of processing coffee beans, which leads to its dark green color. It offers a slightly earthy aroma and fills your mug with spicy and earthy flavors of dark chocolate, cedar, sweet tobacco and wine.
