Traditional Wet-Hull Processing
The unique processing method of Mandheling coffee allows for a quick turnaround from harvest, which is critical given Sumatra's humid, rainy climate. This wet-hulling technique separates the wet parchment layer from the water-swollen bean, leading to its characteristic bluish-white color and distinctive taste that sets it apart from other coffees.
This traditional Giling Basah method creates the complex, earthy character that Sumatran Mandheling is famous for worldwide.
Brewing Recommendations for Cafes
- French Press: 1:15 ratio, 4 minutes - maximizes full body and brings out chocolate and earthy notes
- Drip/Batch Brew: 1:16 ratio, 200°F - consistent, rich cups with low acidity
- Cold Brew: 1:8 ratio, 16-18 hours - smooth, sweet with pronounced chocolate characteristics
- Espresso: 18-20g dose, 1:2 ratio - creates syrupy, full-bodied shots with herbal complexity
