Lower altitude origins produce softer acidity. Wet hulled and semi washed processing knocks it down further. And longer roasting breaks down more of the chlorogenic acids in the bean. Our low acid coffees stack all three in your favor rather than relying on a chemical treatment after the fact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere to start\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSumatra Mandheling\u003c\/strong\u003e is the lowest acidity coffee we roast.
