Mandheling coffee, known for its polarizing herbal and medicinal flavors, is often blended with Brazilian coffee in traditional Japanese coffee shops. The owner's personal preference for this flavor profile has led to the offering of various Mandheling choices. Premium-grade Mandheling, produced exclusively in Sumatra, Indonesia, provides a diverse flavor range. The Blue Lake Mandheling variant, particularly popular in the international market, is versatile for single-origin consumption or blending with other beans to create unique blends. Reasonably priced and featuring a darker roast, it stands out as a distinctive option worth trying.
