INDONESIA MANDAILING NATAL KOMASTI LILI

Mandailing is often highlighted as a historic origin of specialty coffee, known for its unique flavors that have captivated the market. This legacy inspired us to source coffee from this remarkable region.

Sourcing coffee from Mandailing in West Sumatra is no easy task, but with our partners at Onma Coffee, we’re able to bring in beans from seven villages across the region. Our latest release showcases a standout coffee from Mandailing Natal region, grown at 1300 meters, offering some of the tastiest Sumatran coffee we’ve ever had.

Our good friend Sofyan at Onma Coffee continually shares the joy and passion intrinsic to Mandailing coffee. Our newest selection hails from the Mandailing Natal region a meticulously curated microlot of Komasti varietal. Initially introduced by the Indonesia Coffee and Cocoa Research Institute (ICCRI) as a solution to leaf rust disease, this resilient varietal not only bolsters coffee production but also provides significant benefits to local farmers.

Komasti represents an enhanced evolution of the Catimor lineage, refining its predecessor’s characteristic herbal profile into a vibrant tapestry of tropical fruit notes. The coffee is an example of refined experience enjoying Sumatra coffee. In its espresso form, the brew reveals a sophisticated complexity of cherry and soursop nuances, underscored by hints of bellfruit and sweet longan. When paired with milk, Komasti brilliantly showcases the robust Sumatra body, enriched by semi-sweet chocolate nuances and a lingering cacao powder aftertaste. Mandailing steadfastly upholds its reputation, consistently delivering a genuine specialty coffee experience.
