Fresh Roasted Coffee Dark Sumatra Mandheling Drip Ground Coffee 12 oz — Single-Origin, Bold Dark Roast

Fresh Roasted Coffee Dark Sumatra Mandheling is a 100% single-origin dark roast drip ground coffee delivering bold, earthy, syrupy, and spiced notes in a kosher-certified 12 oz resealable bag.

From the Bener Meriah highlands of Sumatra, this Dark Sumatra Mandheling brings an intense, full-bodied profile created by wet-hulling and sun-drying of Ateng, Tim Tim, and Bourbon varietals grown at 1,200–1,500 meters above sea level. Roasted and packaged in the United States by Fresh Roasted Coffee, the coffee is nitrogen-flushed, sealed with a one-way degassing valve, and kosher certified for consistent freshness and quality.

How will this dark roast taste in my cup?

You’ll notice a heavy, syrupy mouthfeel with earthy and spiced undertones typical of Sumatra Mandheling—more concentrated than medium roasts and with low acidity. The dark roast amplifies bittersweet chocolate, cedar, and tobacco-like notes while preserving the coffee’s characteristic herbal complexity.

• Flavor highlights: syrupy body, earthy depth, warm spice.
• Acidity: low to moderate, smooth finish.
• Aftertaste: lingering bittersweet and herbal echoes.
• Suitable for milk-based drinks and black brewing alike.

Is this coffee truly single-origin and how is it processed?

Yes — the bag contains 100% Arabica from Bener Meriah, Sumatra, not a blend. Farmers harvest Ateng, Tim Tim, and Bourbon varietals and use wet-hulling followed by sun-drying, which contributes to the coffee’s dark, earthy profile.

• Origin: Bener Meriah regency, Sumatra, Indonesia.
• Varietals: Ateng, Tim Tim, Bourbon.
• Processing: wet-hulled (giling basah) and sun-dried.
• Altitude: grown at 1,200–1,500 masl for concentrated flavor.

What brewing methods work best with this ground coffee?

This drip-ground format is optimized for standard automatic and manual drip machines, but it’s versatile enough for several methods depending on grind size and dose. Expect a rich, heavy cup from drip, robust extraction in French press, and a bold espresso-like intensity when used in espresso machines capable of handling pre-ground coffee.

• Best by default: standard drip coffee makers.
• Also excellent: French press, pour-over (with coarser grind adjustment), Aeropress.
• Works in: espresso machines, moka pots, percolators if dosed and tamped appropriately.
