Indonesia Sumatra Mandheling
Sumatra
Very dark ~ berries ~ dark chocolate
Our most developed roast. Very dark and smokey. Packs a punch!
The farm
This is our very darkest roast - taken through the beginning of the second crack, it’s a suitably smokey coffee that packs a serious punch, while still maintaining its interesting notes of red berries and chocolate. It comes from the Permata Gayo co-operative, which was founded in 2006 with the aim of guaranteeing traceability throughout the supply chain, and managing all aspects of coffee production and sorting, improving both consistency and quality in the process.
It uses a processing method unique to Indonesia - ‘Galling-Basah’. This involves drying the green coffee to three different levels of humidity, as the beans are transported further and further down the mountain, and creates a raw coffee with a slightly blue hue.

Why Wogan?
Sustainable and ethical
We've made it this generation's mission to put sustainability at the forefront. We’ve pledged to be Carbon Neutral by 2030 and are well on our way to getting there. LDPE4 recyclable bags, a Roastery powered entirely by solar energy, and a hell of a lot more.
our story
We, at Wogan Coffee, have been lovingly hand-roasting speciality, ethical, sustainable and traceable coffees since 1970. In our third generation, and a wholly independent family company, you can find us rooted in Bristol; the same city as when Mr Wogan established the business over fifty years ago. Laura and James, grandchildren of the bowler hatted gentleman, now have the ropes firmly in their grasp; James as our resident Q Grader in the Bristol Roastery Headquarters, and Laura in London.
