{"product_id":"sumatra-mandheling-5","title":"Sumatra Mandheling","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom the volcanic highlands of Aceh, Sumatra, this Mandheling coffee delivers the bold, earthy character Indonesian beans are famous for—with a surprisingly clean finish. Roasted by Parisi Coffee to a medium profile, it earned a 90-point score from Coffee Review in 2013, and it remains a benchmark for anyone exploring single-origin coffees beyond the familiar Central American profiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrown by the Koperasi Baitul Qiradh Baburrayyan cooperative at 1200–1400 meters above sea level, this Catimor varietal undergoes pulp natural processing, a method that strips the cherry's outer skin but leaves some mucilage during drying. The result? A syrupy body with less of the funky, fermenty notes you might find in traditional wet-hulled Sumatrans, and more clarity in the cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eExpect dark chocolate richness up front, followed by the subtle bitterness of pipe tobacco and a finish that echoes roasted walnut. The body is substantial—almost creamy—while the acidity stays low and mellow. This is a coffee that feels grounded, not bright, with a lingering sweetness that balances the earthier tones beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eBrew Methods\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Sumatra shines in a French press, where the full body and oils can develop without a paper filter muting them. It's also excellent as a pour-over if you want to tease out more of the chocolate and nut nuances, though you'll want a slightly coarser grind to avoid over-extraction. For espresso, it pulls a thick, syrupy shot with low acidity—ideal for straight sipping or as the base of a cappuccino that won't get lost under milk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAbout the Roaster\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eParisi Coffee, a Kansas City mainstay since 1912, sources directly from cooperatives and roasts with precision to let origin characteristics lead.
