Sumatra Organic Mandheling Beriah Citra Persada G1

Sumatra is BACK!! A group of smallholder farmers from Bener Meriah, Sumatra came together to produce this regional blend. In this region, coffee farms average at just 0.5 – 2 hectares each. Bener Meriah is nestled around the northern shore of Lake Tawar and dominated by the imposing Burni Telong volcano. The process of producing coffee from groups of smallholder coffee farmers in Sumatra is complicated and involves many steps. Every village typically has a collector who receives the fresh-picked cherry from the smallholder coffee farmers for washed processing each day before continuing on to the central mill. Dark roasted and big-bodied with notes of sweet cedar and vanilla.

The Sumatra Organic Mandheling Beriah Citra Persada G1 is a distinct offering from the Bener Meriah region, produced by Beriah Citra Persada. Sourced and roasted by Beanstock Coffee, this selection highlights the unique profile often associated with the island’s traditional cultivation. While washed coffees, as detailed in our processing methods explainer, are typically celebrated for their clean acidity and structural clarity, this specific lot leans into a more grounded, aromatic experience.

The roaster identifies prominent notes of sweet cedar and vanilla, a profile that invites exploration through our flavor wheel. Because Sumatra is renowned for its specific processing techniques and volcanic soil, its coffees frequently offer a departure from the bright, citrus-forward profiles found in other origins. This G1-graded coffee serves as a refined example of the region's output, balancing the inherent earthiness of the terroir with a delicate, sweet finish that distinguishes it within the broader Indonesian landscape.
