Sky Roasted ‘Sumatra Mandheling’ Beriah GR1 (12oz)

🌋 Sky Roasted – Sumatra Mandheling Beriah GR1
Sky Roasted Coffee proudly presents Sumatra Mandheling Beriah GR1, a bold and brooding single-origin offering from the highland farms of Bener Meriah, nestled in the Aceh province of northern Sumatra. Grown at elevations between 1,100 and 1,600 meters around the shores of Lake Tawar and the base of Burni Telong volcano, this smallholder-grown coffee is curated and exported by PT Indokom Citra Persada, a longtime champion of traceable Indonesian specialty lots.

Processed using the region’s traditional wet-hulled (giling basah) method and sun-dried on patios, this Mandheling delivers a dark, earthy complexity that coffee lovers have cherished for generations. It’s a rich, grounding cup—classic and comforting.

🌱 The Farmers & Origin
In the Bener Meriah region, most farms are small—just 0.5 to 2 hectares—but together they create a powerful coffee legacy. Each day during harvest, local collectors gather fresh cherries from farmers and begin the washing process before transporting the coffee to a central mill. PT Indokom Citra Persada oversees this intricate supply chain, managing quality from start to finish while preserving the traditional systems and supporting smallholder livelihoods.

The result is a coffee that reflects the rugged terrain, rich volcanic soil, and cultural depth of the Gayo Highlands—produced with intention and proudly roasted by Sky Roasted.

🔥 Roasting Notes
We are roasting this coffee to Full City+ (Medium-Dark Roast), where its natural sweetness and body shine through. This roast levels develop the molasses and dark chocolate tones while keeping bitterness at bay.
