🐲Look at this GORGEOUS painting by Cyndal Norton! I had the privilege of picking him up at her art reception at Coastal Camden Art League (She’s artist of the month, btw! Her display is definitely worth checking out!!) BUT I need a vote… which of these frames does this handsome guy the most justice?🐲

🐲☕️This morning, I want to brag on a bean that's a little different from the others in our lineup - a wet-hulled Sumatra Mandheling from Indonesia - represented by our Acorn creature!🐲☕️

Our Sumatra Mandheling is Grade 1, the highest official quality tier in Sumatran coffee. We use this bean for our French roast. Many beans don't hold up well to such a dark roast, but Sumatra Mandheling is different. This roast doesn't taste burnt. It tastes strong, earthy, and SO SMOOTH.

Sumatra Mandheling is naturally very low in acidity. Add to that the air-roasting process and the very dark roast level... this brew manages to be ultra smooth and super low in acidity while still maintaining its bold flavor and much of its nice, thick, velvety body.

We also add a small percentage of this bean into our Mermaid blend. This strategy allows the complexity of the Guatemala and Brazil to still shine while adding to the body and reducing the overall acidity of the blend.

Our Acorn guy (and our Mermaid blend) is present for free trials at every market and festival we attend! We hope you'll give him a chance sometime soon!
