Indonesia Sumatra Water Process Decaf
Sumatra's heavy body survives decaffeination intact, with clear dark-chocolate and herbal notes.

Flavor Description
Decaffeination often leaves coffee thin, but Sumatra's naturally heavy body makes up for it. Dark chocolate and brown sugar lead, with Mandheling's signature herbal and light earthy notes, low acidity, and a balanced bittersweet finish.
Buying Tips
- Process: Water and activated carbon remove about 99.9% of the caffeine with no chemical solvents; often labelled Swiss Water or Mountain Water
- Style: Decaf can easily taste thin, and Sumatra's heavy body makes up for it
- Storage: Decaf stales faster — buy small bags and finish within two to three weeks
Brewing Notes
- French press: Medium-coarse grind, 92°C, 4-minute steep
- Latte: Medium-dark roast with milk brings out chocolate notes — a good evening cup
