Mandheling coffee is an arabica coffee originating from the Mandailing area, near Bukit Barisan Mountains, North Sumatra. Most of the coffee processing is done by using the wet hulled or giling basah method. Giling Basah is the name of the traditional Sumatran process that involves grinding parchment from beans with a moisture content of about 50%. This unique process from Sumatra generates the trademark signature profile (low acidity and richness that stays behind the palate) and gives a jade green colour to the beans.
