Have you ever had Front Street Mandheling Coffee? Have you ever noticed that the appearance of coffee beans is very large, the surface color is very dark, it exudes a strong burnt aroma, and has a rich and sweet taste, all of which are attributed to the place where it is grown and the degree of roasting.
Strictly speaking, Arabica coffee beans produced in the Lake Toba area of Sumatra, Indonesia can be called "Mandheling". The best coffee in Sumatra comes from two places. One of them is Mandheling in the Lintong production area, located in Lake Toba on the island of North Sumatra. Lake); the other comes from near Gayo Mountain in Aceh Province, the northernmost part of Sumatra. The planting height in the production area averages between 1,200 and 1,500 meters. The coffee is grown by small farmers under shade trees. The wet planing processing method shows a unique jungle flavor and strong concentration, which is the Mandheling flavor.
Normally, traditional flavor Mandheling only uses medium-dark to dark roast (Dark Roast). Because light roasting and medium roasting will allow the coffee to retain more acidity, the body will be thin, and it will not have the charm of classic Mandheling at all.
On the contrary, medium-dark roasted coffee beans experience a longer heating time, the bean surface is completely relaxed, and the color will become even and shiny. The sour substances begin to weaken, and the sweetness is the best, which also allows the coffee beans themselves to show the unique spices, fir, herbs and other flavors of Mandheling. The taste is mellow and bitter, and the aroma and aftertaste are good. There are many ways to try Front Street Mandheling.
