Sumatra Karo Highlands

Alright, adventurers of the bean! The Caffeinery is unleashing a truly wild and wonderful brew from the heart of Indonesia: the Sumatra Mandheling Karo Highlands. Get ready for a bold, earthy, and utterly unforgettable coffee experience!

Karo Highlands: Where Citrus Meets Coffee:

Imagine lush landscapes where orange trees and strawberry fields share space with coffee estates. The Karo Highlands in North Sumatra, with its rich volcanic soil and elevations of 1100-1350 meters, is a haven for diverse crops and exceptional coffee. This is where the magic happens.   

Mandheling Magic, Giling Basah Mastery:

Named after the Mandheling people, this Sumatra Mandheling is a testament to the island's unique terroir and processing methods. The wet-hulled process, or Giling Basah, is the secret behind its distinctive cup profile. This method, born out of Sumatra's humid climate, results in a bold, earthy character that's truly one-of-a-kind.

A Symphony of Bold Flavors:

Prepare for a deep and satisfying journey with notes of rich dark chocolate, smoky pipe tobacco, sweet brown sugar, aromatic cedar, and the subtle sweetness of dried plum. This heavy-bodied brew with medium acidity is a true sensory experience.

From Small Farms to Global Cups:

Sumatra's coffee industry is a network of smallholder farmers, collectors, processors, and exporters, all working together to bring you this exceptional coffee. We're talking farms of 0.5 to 2.5 hectares, scattered across remote regions, all contributing to Indonesia's coffee dominance.
