The aroma starts off malty with a touch of chocolate. The cup is deep, earthy and unusually smooth for a Sumatra, with tones of dark fruit. It’s even a little bit savory. The smoky finish lingers into the next sip.

Sumatra Lintong Triple Picked coffee comes from family-owned farms located near the town of Berastagi and Lake Toba in the province of North Sumatra, Indonesia. More than 14,000 farms averaging 1.5 hectares (3.7 acres) organized within cooperatives work together with PT Sumatra Specialty Coffees and CBI Indonesia to process and export coffee from the Lintongnihuta District. “Triple Picked” means the coffee cherries are hand sorted three times, as opposed to the standard single or double pass. This ensures a better processed coffee with fewer defects and a cleaner, brighter cup profile.
