PWN Indonesian Golden Mandheling Coffee Beans

In recent years, with the rise of the specialty coffee movement, more and more cafes in China have started offering "acidic" coffees, inadvertently overlooking some traditionally flavorful brews. In fact, coffees with rich, bold flavors and nutty profiles also have a large—and perhaps even larger—group of devoted fans. The coffee we’re introducing today has a strong chocolate and nutty profile, and its unique taste is sure to captivate you—meet PWN Golden Mandheling Coffee.

Usually, coffee is named after its variety, growing region, place name, or even country. But Mandheling is not a place name anywhere in the world—it’s a transliteration of the name of an ethnic group in Indonesia called Mandailing. So when you hear about Mandheling coffee, there’s no doubt it refers to coffee from Indonesia.

Indonesia is the world’s largest archipelagic nation, and its coffee cultivation began during the Dutch colonial period. So although the country isn’t the birthplace of coffee, thanks to its unique and superior geographic and climatic conditions as well as the efforts of generations of coffee growers, Indonesian coffee has become an indispensable part of the specialty coffee scene.

Mandheling is also known as "Sumatra Coffee." Sumatra is Indonesia’s largest coffee-producing region. It’s the country’s second-largest island by area, with a population of around 55 million and an annual coffee output that accounts for approximately 74.2% of Indonesia’s total production.

PT. Perkebunan Nusantara WIlayah IX (PWN), or Pwani Coffee Company, is Indonesia’s most well-known green bean purchasing company. It primarily targets Mandheling coffee varietals, and has acquired beans from all of Indonesia’s top-producing regions. As a result, the best Mandheling coffee undoubtedly comes from PWN. Golden Mandheling is a registered coffee trademark of NV. Pawani Medan (abbreviated as PWN) and is also its most iconic product. Golden Mandheling undergoes four rounds of manual sorting, making it a cut above regular Mandheling—with larger beans and more uniform appearance. This premium-grade coffee has created a new wave of demand, captivating markets in Europe and America as well.

That’s a brief introduction to PWN Indonesian Golden Mandheling Coffee Beans. Don’t miss out if you enjoy bold flavors and nutty notes in your coffee.
