Sumatra Lintong Medium/Dark Roast

Our single origin Sumatra Lintong coffee is a hidden gem from the volcanic highlands surrounding the beautiful Lake Toba in North Sumatra, Indonesia. This exquisite coffee is more than just a morning ritual; it's a journey to one of the world's most unique coffee-producing regions.

Sumatra coffee beans are harvested primarily in the Lintong area, which is situated in the northwest part of Sumatra. This region is named after the district it lies in, Lintongnihuta. Its location is uniquely Southwest of Lake Toba, acclaimed as one of the deepest inland lakes globally. The geography is especially conducive to the cultivation of Arabica coffee.

The district’s location on a high plateau presents the ideal altitude for growing specialty coffee varieties. The elevated climate and rich soil conditions combine to create a prime environment for Arabica coffee plants to thrive, contributing to the distinct flavor profile Sumatra coffee is renowned for.

The Lintong coffee beans are nurtured at elevations ranging from 800 to 1,500 meters, where the rich, volcanic soil and tropical climate create the perfect conditions for Arabica coffee trees to thrive. These beans are handpicked with utmost care, ensuring only the highest quality makes it into your cup.

What sets the Sumatra Lintong coffee apart is its traditional processing method. After harvesting, the beans undergo a semi-washed (or wet-hulled) process, a technique unique to Indonesia. This involves removing the outer skin of the cherry immediately after picking, then allowing the beans to partially dry with the mucilage still on. Once the beans reach the ideal moisture content, the remaining layers are removed. This meticulous process contributes to the coffee's distinctive body and flavour profile.

Dive into a cup of Lintong, and you'll discover a complex and full-bodied experience. The flavour notes are a captivating blend of deep, earthy undertones complemented by a subtle, natural sweetness. Hints of spicy cedar, chocolate, and ripe tropical fruit weave together to create a rich, smooth finish that lingers pleasantly on the palate.
