Mandheling coffee is produced in Sumatra Island, Indonesia, Asia. It is also known as "Sumatra coffee". It has a rich taste, combining aroma, bitterness, sweetness and mellowness with a slight smoky flavor. It is a favorite of many people. Compared with other Indonesian coffees, Mandheling is often consumed as a single-origin black coffee due to its mellow flavor. Sugar or milk is generally not added, so it also has higher requirements for the quality of coffee beans. We can buy high-quality Mandheling coffee from the following three points.
1. Freshness
The way to judge freshness is to look at the roasting date of the coffee beans. Usually the date printed on the package is the roasting date, which can tell whether the coffee beans are fresh. Generally, the tasting period of coffee beans is 40 to 50 days after roasting. Once the tasting period has passed, even the most expensive coffee may lack aroma and even have a woody taste. Therefore, it is best to buy coffee beans with a roasting date within 10 days in order to get the best enjoyment experience.
Choosing a reputable roasted coffee brand is the key first step. Front Street Coffee is an old coffee bean roasting brand. Front Street Coffee’s offline store in Guangzhou specializes in selling coffee beans. The store sells dozens of selected single-origin Pour over(V60) coffee beans and espresso coffee beans from different coffee origins around the world. Front Street Coffee beans are freshly roasted within 5 days. The coffee beans are of stable and excellent quality, and the price is very cost-effective. They are shipped within 24 hours. Whether you are a newbie, a coffee lover who has reached a professional advanced level, or a user who has opened a coffee shop, Front Street Coffee is a recommended choice by many coffee lovers and platforms.
2. Coffee grade
Indonesian coffee beans adopt this grading method based on the proportion of defective beans. Indonesian beans are mainly divided into 6 grades, namely G1 to G6. According to the defect rate classification (based on 300g), the grade is based on Grade: G1 - Grade1, the total defects are less than 11, G2 - Grade2, the total defects are greater than 12 and less than 25, G3 - Grade3, the total defects are greater than 26 and less than 44, G4a - Grade4a, the total defects are greater than 45 and less than 60, G4b - Grade4b, the total defects are greater than 61 and less than 80. It can be seen that G1 is the highest grade of Indonesian green beans.
Both Front Street Indonesian Mandheling and Front Street PWN Golden Mandheling coffees are G1 grade. They are wet-planed and have the unique herbal, spice and woody aroma of Sumatran coffee. After deep roasting, they show the wild tones of dark chocolate, caramel, nuts, herbs and licorice. They are low-acid and mellow, and are suitable for hand brewing, moka pot coffee, French press, siphon and other extraction methods.
3. Price
