by better buzz coffee encinitas · san diego, usa
you'll taste milk chocolate before dark chocolate. this is sumatra mandheling 5lb, an indonesia + sumatra from better buzz coffee encinitas.
this coffee delivers milk chocolate and dark chocolate flavors alongside an earthy quality that is characteristic of sumatra-grown beans. it is a full, grounded cup rather than a bright or fruity one.
it is grown in the mandheling region of sumatra, indonesia. sumatran coffees from this region are traditionally processed using wet-hulling, a method that contributes to their low acidity and earthy flavor profile.
french press and drip methods work well here, as they allow the coffee's heavy body and earthy, chocolatey flavors to come through cleanly. avoid very high brew temperatures that can push the earthiness toward bitterness.
