„Some of the most famous coffees of the worldare grown on the gigantic islands of the Malay Archipelago: Sumatra, Sulawesi or Celebes,and Java in Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea. Whereas Central American coffees aredistinguished by their dry, winey aftertaste, the coffees of Indonesia and New Guinea arenoted for their richness, full body, long finish, and an acidity that, though pronounced,is deep- toned, gentle, and enveloped in the complexity of the coffee. Many consider theMandheling and Ankola coffees of Sumatra the world's finest. They are often hard to find,but still moderate in price.“
