From the Aceh area around Lake Tawar, this is one of the first coffees that helped launch the specialty coffee industry. We originally sourced this coffee from Erna Knutsen — often referred to as the mother of the specialty coffee movement and coffee’s feminist pioneer. This is by far the best Sumatran coffee Oren has found from the area, growing in a region with a very high elevation and humid climate — ideal for growing coffee beans. Taste this coffee and you’ll see why it’s one of Oren’s favorites. In addition to its complex taste profile, it has a rich history and story behind it.

Tasting Notes

Typical of Oren’s favorite region in Sumatra, this coffee is syrupy, with pleasant herbal notes, and backed with muted sweetness.

    This is our favorite coffee!! We have been drinking it for years. Whenever we travel if I have to drink something else, it can never compare!

    This was my very favorite Oren coffee at the store. Actually, my favorite coffee ever. I wish it were afforable.

    Better than any other Sumatra I’ve ever tried, yet it has some bitterness that annoys me a bit.

    I’ve been drinking this coffee since 1986. Meanwhile, I’ve moved from NYC to Boston and 12 years later, to San Francisco. I’ve tried other versions of Sumatra but Oren’s is still worth ordering. This a large, gentle, flavor. Try it.

    I’ve been a customer of Oren’s since 1986. Over the years I’ve had many of Oren’s fine coffees. What has become my favorite is Sumatra Mandheling. Every morning I enjoy that smooth, full-bodied coffee. I highly recommend all of Oren’s coffee’s especially the Sumatra Mandheling.

    This is a fabulously distinct wake-up call – strong, almost cedar-like, clean and full bodied. Probably the boldest example of Sumatra I’ve ever had – and that’s a lot to love.

    I’ve been drinking Oren’s Sumatra Mandheling for more than 20 years. Other coffee come and go, but this a go-to favorite that’s always in my rotation. Now, if only they’d bring back the Aged Sumatra!

    I agree with Diane–this Sumatra is fantastic. I have been brewing it at home for 10 years+, and if I try something else, the complaints are immediate!
