Fresh Roasted Coffee Sumatra Mandheling Whole Bean Coffee 2 lb Medium Roast — Chocolate & Earthy, Low Acidity

Fresh Roasted Coffee 100% Sumatra Mandheling is a single-origin, medium-roast whole bean coffee delivering a bold, chocolate-forward cup with earthy undertones and low acidity.

This 2 lb (32 oz) bag contains only Sumatra Mandheling Arabica beans harvested from Bener Meriah at 1,200–1,500 meters above sea level. Dry-processed by wet hulling and sun-drying, these beans are roasted to a medium profile on low-emission Loring SmartRoasters, then nitrogen-flushed and sealed with a one-way valve to lock in aroma. The result is a full-bodied coffee suited to a wide range of brewing methods and drinker preferences.
