you'll taste tobacco before earthy. this is organic indonesia sumatra mandheling, a washed indonesia + sumatra from union place coffee roasters.
this coffee leads with tobacco and earthy flavors, giving it a savory, low-acid character typical of sumatran coffees at a medium-dark roast level.
it is grown in the mandheling region of sumatra, indonesia, and processed using the washed method, where the fruit is removed before the beans are dried.
the medium-dark roast and earthy, tobacco-forward profile work well in full-immersion or pressure-based methods such as french press or moka pot, which complement its weight and low acidity.
