Indonesian Mandheling Blue Batak (Sumatran Tiger Trust)

Description

Blu Batak is a premium Grade 1 Mandheling grown at high altitudes.  It is uniquely produced using the so-called wet-hulled method, a process unique to parts of Indonesia.  In this process the coffee parchment is only marginally dried and then stripped from the bean. After drying the coffee bean turns a bluish jade.  The method, locally called “Giling Basah” gives excellent body and a unique character to the coffee. This coffee is roasted medium to create an incredibly sweet, medium bright acidity, full-bodied, with a long, lingering syrupy sweet finish appreciated by coffee lovers all over the world.

Buying this coffee also assists the critically endangered Sumatran Tiger. With the sale of even bag of Sumatran Blue Batak a donation is made to the Sumatran Tiger Trust, the largest conservation programme for Sumatran tigers in Indonesia helping to eliminate poaching save these big cats.
