The darker the coffee is roasted, the more the acidity in the coffee is destroyed, replaced by more caramel flavors, smoky notes, and bitterness. Correspondingly, the coffee tastes fuller and thicker, and Mandheling is one of the most famous representatives of this. Dark-roasted Mandheling coffee not only has unique spice, herbal, pine, and dark chocolate flavors, but also comes with a rich coffee aroma and a long-lasting sweet aftertaste, leaving a deep impression.

Many people know that for busy office workers, we rarely have the chance to brew a cup of freshly ground coffee by hand and enjoy it slowly, so we think of drip bag coffee, which was created for convenience. So as an ordinary consumer, how should we choose Mandheling drip bag coffee without making a bad choice?

First, if you want to get a taste of Mandheling's unique flavor, it is recommended to buy the entry-level Front Street Indonesia Mandheling G1 drip bag coffee.

It uses the wet-hulled process and dark roasting, maximizing Mandheling's caramel, spice, nut, and dark chocolate roasted aromas, with a full body, rich flavor, and low acidity.

Lintong Mandheling refers to Arabica coffee from the mountainous area around Lake Toba in North Sumatra. This lake is located north of Medan, the provincial capital of Sumatra, and is a high-altitude freshwater lake at an average elevation of about 900 meters. Lintong Mandheling is processed using the local wet-hulled method, presenting Mandheling's unique mellow herbal aroma and is a classic Asian coffee flavor.

But when it comes to high-grade Mandheling coffee, one cannot fail to mention Front Street PWN Golden Mandheling drip bag coffee. PWN can be said to be the headhunting company of specialty Mandheling.

PWN's full name is "N.V. Pawani Medan company." This is a trading company mainly focused on purchasing local high-quality lots of Mandheling green beans. Its coffee only produces specialty-grade Mandheling, and "Golden Mandheling" is its signature product. At the time, the Japanese took a liking to Sumatra coffee and bought it for a long time, gradually discovering that the quality of local beans was often uneven.

Therefore, they paid more attention to the production of Mandheling and began to establish strict standards and methods for screening defects, starting with values such as bean density, size, shape, and color. The resulting Mandheling needs one mechanical sorting plus four manual hand-sortings to remove defects, ensuring that the produced Mandheling beans are complete, uniform, large, and translucent, while also reducing Mandheling's earthy and grassy flavors. It is said that under the sun they appeared golden and shining, which is why they were named "Golden Mandheling."

Freshly roasted Front Street Golden Mandheling, after opening the package,you can smell cedar wood, nuts, spices, and herbs. As hot water is poured in, there are notes of licorice and caramel. It tastes of dark chocolate, cocoa, nuts, and spices, with an overall clean cup, obvious sweet aftertaste, and high body. Made into drip bag coffee, it can likewise present the essence of Golden Mandheling.
