Description:“The origin of Mandheling coffee as a geographical area in the highlands of North Sumatra, Bukit Barisan located around Mount Sorik Marapi and Gunung Kulabu, with an altitude of 1,000-1,600 meters above sea level, fertile volcanic soil types, wet climate and close to the equator. Mandheling Coffee (Mandailing) is one of the most famous specialty coffees in the world.
Mandheling is known as much for its smooth, full body (mouthfeel) as its rich, complex taste. Sumatra Mandheling tasting notes often describe it as earthy and intense with an herbal aroma, not found in South American or African coffees and that’s what makes it unique. With just enough acidity that provide a vibrancy, Mandheling coffee often exhibits tones of sweet chocolate and licorice. The flavor of the coffee develops well because of the rich volcanic soil and tropical climate.”

Coffee Grind Chart | What grind style to choose when brewing your coffee?
Different forms of brewing coffee require different levels of grinding your beans. When ordering online, we can offer you whole bean or grind them for you.
Coffee Grind Chart:
Coarse - French Press, percolators, vacuum coffee pots and aero press coffee makers, we recommend a coarse grind level. (immersion brew method)
Drip - For use with drip coffee makers, grind level is medium. (pour over brew method)
Espresso - When making espresso or using a moka pot, finer grind level is recommended. (pressure with short water contact time)
Why? Different grind levels leach coffee into the water at different rates. Therefore, brew time and concentration (part-per-million) of coffee to water can vary.

An organic certified farm grows the coffee and processes it per documented procedures certified by entities like Ecocert, USDA, etc. This results in farm certified organic green (raw) coffee beans delivered to the roaster.
At Black Powder Roasting Company, we prevent co-mingling of standard coffee and organically grown coffee (both as green and after roasting). These include only roasting organic grown first each day in the roaster before standard grown, separate green bean storage area (non-grain pro), dedicated NSF storage containers (bins, buckets, scoops), and a dedicated organic grown only grinder. Coffee that is 100% Naturally Grown.
