Sumatra Lake Toba - Samosir Island

Roasted and Ready! Sumatra lake Toba - Samosir Island.

This coffee is from a distinctly unique origin; the volcanic island in the middle of massive Lake Toba, adjacent to the Lintong highlands of Sumatra. Being located on the island of Sumatra, Samosir is the largest "island within an island" in the world. This is a microlot of coffee only from small producers on the island.

In the cup it's dense and syrupy melon notes with bittersweet chocolate and dark caramel and raw sugar background. Intense!
