If you like earthy coffee, have you tried Sumatra Mandheling? It's a bit of a divisive taste but I really enjoy it now and then, super low acidity and very earthy flavours, like leather and tobacco notes and often with a spiciness like white or black pepper almost.

    That sounds divine 🤤 and like it would be magnificent on an early morning hike. I'll have to look out for some, thank you for your suggestion 🙏

    Sumatra coffees are also good candidates for aging, if you can find a good aged Mandheling that's an even more intense and complex flavour. I bought a bag of quality aged Mandheling a year or two ago and it was the most intense flavour I've tried, earthy like drinking the damp forest floor of a jungle (but in a good way!), very strong pipe tobacco and pepper notes and an aftertaste that felt like it kept developing for like a minute after a sip.
