Sumatra Lintong

This coffee comes from the Lintong region of North Sumatra and is comprised of various smallholder farmers from towns of Siborongborong, Dolok Sanggul and Lintong Nihuta.  These towns sit around the southern edge of Lake Toba, the largest volcanic lake in the world. Like most coffee in Sumatra, this coffee is grown by smallholder farmers whose farms are located between 1,500 and 1,800 meters above sea level. Nine out of ten coffee farmers in Sumatra grow coffee on less than one hectare of land. The area is lush with a high diversity of plant life and the soil is volcanic. These factors, combined with the elevation of the high plateau, help to make Lintong ideal for growing a wide variety of high-end specialty coffees.
