The Earthy Exotic — One of the World's Most Distinctive Coffees

Sumatra coffee is famous for being one of the most distinctive and "wild" coffees in the world — and Kralj Kava Brewing Co.'s Sumatra Mandheling is the finest expression of that legendary character. Sourced from the lush volcanic highlands of Aceh, Takengon through the renowned Koperasi Baitul Qiradh Baburrayyan (KBQB) cooperative, this is Indonesian coffee at its most authentic and extraordinary.

Prized for its incredibly heavy, syrupy body and a complex flavor profile that stands entirely apart from the bright, fruity notes of African or Central American beans — Sumatra is in a class of its own.
