Indonesia Mandheling

Method notes

How it brews

• Espresso

  good

  Medium dark Mandheling with earthy molasses and dried fruit is a classic espresso body, though not labeled as such.

  our read

• Milk drinks

  good

  Molasses and dried fruit sit under milk; earthiness is a bit heavier than a dedicated latte roast.

  our read

• Filter

  bad

  Earthy medium-dark Mandheling is a poor match for a clean pour over.

  our read

• Immersion

  good

  Heavy molasses body should fill a press or cup brew.

  our read

• Cold brew

  good

  Low-acid molasses sweetness usually works as cold brew.
