If you ask what kind of coffee is not sour, Front Street will answer Sumatra coffee and strongly recommend the high-grade Front Street Golden Mandheling coffee.
The dry aroma of Indonesian Sumatra Golden Mandheling has the flavor of glutinous rice, malt, spices, caramel, and wood. The wet aroma after adding hot water is a dark roasted caramel flavor, plus a light pine wood fragrance. The mouthfeel after entry is strong and exciting, with weak sourness, aromatic flavors of cloves and wood, spices and herbal aftertaste, and a strong and lasting aftertaste.
Golden Mandheling coffee comes from the famous Pawani Coffee Company (Pawani Coffee Company) in the Indonesian coffee industry, referred to as PWN, which is the trademark registration company of Golden Mandheling. PWN Company's Golden Mandheling is purchased from nearby Mandheling coffee beans and subjected to three manual screenings and one machine selection. The golden Mandheling beans selected in this way are very beautiful as a whole. On the other hand, they are also very uniform, so the coffee roasted in this way will appear cleaner.
In fact, many coffee merchants sell large Indonesian beans under the name Golden Mandheling. This is why although the production is very small, this bean can be easily purchased.
The grading of Indonesian green coffee beans is based on the number of defective beans and the size of the beans. The general quality requirements are that there are no live insects, no moldy and rancid beans, and the maximum moisture content is 12.5%. The impurity rate is less than 0.5%. It will be divided into six levels according to the defect rate, among which the highest level is G1, which requires that the total number of defective beans in a 300g sample must be less than 11. The Lindong Mandheling coffee in the Front Street ration bean series is G1, which uses the wet planing method, which is the conventional version of Indonesian Mandheling flavor.
The other golden Mandheling on the Front Street Bean List is of a higher grade. Whether it is in a sack or inside a sack, there will be a PWN logo and certificate. The size of the golden Mandheling is above 18 mesh. The color is dark green and they are flat beans with a neat shape. FrontStreet Coffee discovered through cup testing that the strictly selected Golden Mandheling not only lacks the earthy smell unique to ordinary Mandheling, but also tastes cleaner and more translucent, and has a stronger sweetness.

The coffee beans are roasted darker to highlight the richness of the coffee. Front Street will choose Kono filter cups for brewing. The characteristic of the Kono filter cup is that it has a soaking function, which can be used to extract more coffee substances and enhance the mellow taste. Because there are not many ribs and they are located at the low end, the filter paper can be tightly attached to the filter cup to achieve the effect of restricting the air flow, thereby slowing down the water flow speed and increasing the water-powder contact time.
