Product Description
Hailing from Indonesian island of Sumatra, Mandheling beans are considered to be amongst the regions finest. A staple of coffee shops across the country, Sumatra is famously smooth and rich with an earthy and chocolaty flavor. Ideal as a dessert coffee or for those who avoid high-acid coffees. Sumatran coffee can be roasted to a broad range of roast levels, but we suggest a Light or French Roast.

Green Unroasted Sumatra Mandheling, Whole Bean Coffee, 5-Pound Bag Reviews
| 12 of 12 people found the following review helpful  Poor quality control, By David Andrews (REDMOND, WA, US) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Green Unroasted Sumatra Mandheling, Whole Bean Coffee, 5-Pound Bag (Grocery) I bought 5 lbs of this instead of my usual order from Sweet Maria's. I had some of each on hand to compare, and right away I saw that the Coffee Bean Direct beans were full of misshapen beans and even a few stones. When it came to roasting, it was much more difficult to get an even roast in my iRoast2. When I drank the first few cups, the difference was even more striking. I will be pawning this off on my relatives who don't know better, and ordering a replacement from Sweet Marias.As bad as this review is, there is nothing horrible about the beans, but with an equally priced and far supperior competitor out there, there is no reason to buy this one. 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful  Very nice taste, easy to roast and well packaged, By TL "bean nut" (Grand Rapids, MN, USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Green Unroasted Sumatra Mandheling, Whole Bean Coffee, 5-Pound Bag (Grocery) I just started home roasting and this was my first purchase of green coffee. I am a coffee enthusiast, and living in a small town, home roasting is the only way to get fresh roasted coffee as the stores just don't sell inventory fast enough.My first batch of this coffee was great tasting with nice body and earthy flavor I would expect from Sumatran. It was packaged well and I received it in 3 business days. From past experience with store bought Sumatran, I like a city plus or maybe full city roast rather than the very dark vienna or french roast the stores seem to like. Roasted to city plus or full city, this product produces a flavor that is full and earthy, but not over the top like a dark roasted Sumatran can be. Lighter than city plus will taste grassy like most coffee. Just my preference and your experience will tell you what works for you. I read some home roasting how-to articles on the web and tried to roast using an air popper to a city...

The quality of the product is great, the price is awesome and the packaging protected the shipment from any damage. I also bought another variety in the same 5-lb bag size. I've already roasted about a pound of each and am very happy with the results. I am very partial to the Sumatra. Getting a nice dark roast without burning is always a challenge but it seemed easier with these beans. When the oils were released from the beans the aroma was excellent. Will be buying more from this vendor. |
