When the variety is good, factors such as field management during cultivation, harvesting and processing during the picking season, and the operational standards during bean selection all matter. The higher the standards and the stricter the screening, the better the quality of the coffee beans.And these beans from the Pwani company are famously held to high standards.Currently, the origin of Golden Mandheling is the Gayo Mountains in Aceh, and basically, most high-quality Mandheling comes from this region.As for Golden Mandheling, its biggest characteristics are large bean size, few defects, and good appearance.
