Sumatra Lintong Tano Batak

Fresh out of the roaster and available Whole Bean right now... Sumatra Lintong Tano Batak!

Lingtong coffees are farmed by the Batak peoples that are the indigenous tribe that works the coffee in this area. Tano Batak, which simply means "Land of Batak" is a coffee that is carefully prepared and sorted again in  Medan to the highest standards. The Tano Batak project is sourced from a family of Batak collectors in Lintong, known for their long-term, direct relationships with the small-scale farmers.

In the cup it's clove, molasses, sweet wood and hints of pepper spice. Malty and brownie-like chocolate in the cup. Sweet and sumptuous, a textural delight on the palate.
