After using the last bits of my Sumatra coffee, i rushed off to buy one of the limited ones: first Sumatra Mandheling. It’s really nice. Soft. Kind of reminds me of the spirit made out of paprika that a classmate of mine brought along to one of the highschool class trips. It was damn hot, i could still recall the feeling. Now, in case of the Mandheling, it’s only the flavor. Although the coffee is being sold as extra-bold, it’s nowhere as bold as the “normal” Sumatra coffee or an Italian blend. It’s surely not light, but it’s very soft, and warm. It feels serious, something that you would imagine for a meeting of governments discussing a war situation. It tastes red and hot, but without actually being that spicy hot. Also, it smells very nice, foreshadowing its taste.

I really will be interested to try out the other three new Sumatra coffees as well.
