Organic Sumatra Mandheling coffee description
Revel in the big notes of dried fruits, spice and milk chocolate topped off with a creamy finish. Founded in 2006 with the aim of guaranteeing traceability along the supply chain, Permata Gayo manages all aspects of coffee production, improving both consistency and quality.
The Galling-Basah process is unique to Sumatra and involves three steps, depending on moisture content: ‘Gabah’, wet parchment coffee which is dried immediately and hulled; ‘Labu’, wet green beans at about 30-40% humidity; and finally, ‘Assalan’, which is exported at 12-13% humidity.
This process produces a deep blue or green hue to the raw coffee, creating a special cupping profile.

This is the perfect coffee for me. A strong and dark roast, best I have had and decided to subscribe monthly. Thank you.

Loved both the flavour and the strength of this coffee. I like it both black and as a latte. (For me to like coffee black is saying something – it’s rare that I enjoy the raw flavour that much). I guess this is the difference between carefully grown, selected, imported and roasted artisan coffee, and mass-produced cheaper products?
