Crisply sweet, delicate but lively. Honeysuckle, candied walnut, hints of chocolate and moist pipe tobacco. Quiet, round acidity; light, silky mouthfeel. Clean, flavor-saturated finish.
Notes
Mandheling is a growing region surrounding Lake Toba in North Sumatra. This coffee is a wet-processed or “washed” coffee, however, rather than the traditional type of wet-hulled coffee associated with the Mandheling name. Parisi Artisan Coffee is the specialty coffee division of Parisi Brothers Specialty Foods, a family-owned business involved in many aspects of the food and beverage industry, including manufacturing, importing and distributing of a wide variety of specialty foods.

Who Should Drink It
Admirers of the traditional Sumatra profile will find very little of it here, but they will find a quietly complex and gently balanced cup.
