About this Coffee

Not your father’s Sumatra. This new generation Sumatra has flavor notes of cacao, cedar, and bell pepper with a hint of lavender floral notes.
A cup that is very clean and balanced while still providing the body one expects from Indonesia.

Our Suku Batak is yet another completely sun-dried coffee, also grown around Lake Toba in the Lintongnihuta area to the south and Seribu Dolok area to the ease. comes from selected producers surrounding the town of Lintongnihuta in the Provinsi Sumatera Utara (Northern Sumatra Province). Lake Toba is the largest volcanic lake in the world. The soil around the southern part of the lake is volcanic which leads to exceptional terrain for growing coffee. It is a double-picked preparation with a little wider classification. This consistently clean coffee has heavy-bodied with mellow acidity and flavors of fresh earth, peat moss, and herbal nuances.

Wet Hulling Process:

Wet hulling, or giling basah, is the traditional method used in Indonesia. And although both the name and the method are very similar to wet processing, the cup characteristics are incredibly different.

Further information, After the coffee is dried to 12 to 13% moisture content in the greenhouses, the coffee will be delivered to the warehouse in Medan. It is inspected and graded again upon arrival to ensure no errors were made during processing. The coffee is then warehoused for 2 months. Then it goes through the final grading, hand sorted, bagged and ready for export.
