Among the numerous luxuries of the table
... coffee may be considered as one of the
most valuable. It excites cheerfulness
without intoxication; and the pleasing flow
of spirits which it occasions...is never
followed by sadness, languor or debility.
"...200 years later,
people
would not only
continue to enjoy
coffee but that
coffee would
become a trendy
beverage marketed
and enjoyed in all
parts of the world..."

Sumatera
Coffee
Because of Indonesia’s rare variety of
tropics and regions, it is a perfectly
structured environment for growing and
producing coffee.
The island is known for its vast assortment
of character and flavor when it comes to
the taste of its coffee beans grown on every
corner of the land.

4. The complex taste of beans
produced in Indonesia
specifically represents the
regions in which it is
grown.
For example, the same
variety of Arabica plant
grown in Sumatra can be a
quite different crop then
the same plant grown in
the region of Java, or
Sulawesi.

5. Giling Basah, is a unique method used
to process Sumatran coffee beans. Due
to this method, the beans develop a
very full concentrated flavor, complete
with a light sprinkle of herbs and spices.
This process also hulls the parchment
off the beans at a large 50% moisture
content, vastly higher than the typical
11-15% seen in other regions.
Because of this unique and uncommon
practice, it gives Sumatran beans their
trademark flavor profile and the green
beans their signature color.

Lintong Ni huta is the
town that has become
synonymous with the
entire southern part of
Lake Toba area.
Lake Toba defines the
landscape of the area,
the largest volcanic
crater lake in the world,
and the result of the
largest volcanic event
on earth in the last 25
million years!
It is huge, and the
coffees from the north
and eastern shores are
quite different from the
Lintong coffees.

The coffee is grown between 1400
and 1500 meters above sea level and
is mostly Jember, Onan Ganjang,
Sigarar Utang and Lasuna.
The fragrance and aroma have sweet
smells that fall somewhere in between
rustic palm sugar and molasses, and are
lined with earth tones, tobacco, and
subtle fruit notes. In that respect, there
are no surprises in the brewed cup of
coffee.

8. The underlying sweetness is on
the rustic side and has layered
flavor notes of date and palm
sugars, coconut syrup and
black strap molasses.
As you move through the cup,
earth tones take the form of
cedar wood, smokey peat
(especially in the nose/aroma)
and pipe tobacco, and are
accompanied by a lightly
fruited touch of dried papaya
and date.

9. Tartly sweet, spicily earthy.
Dark chocolate, nutmeg,
butterscotch, almond in
aroma and cup. Gently bright,
juicy acidity; syrupy
mouthfeel. Flavor consolidates
but rings on sweetly and richly
in the finish.
This coffee was grown by
indigenous Batak people, who
have been involved in coffee
production since the practice
was brought to Sumatra by the
Dutch in the late 19th century.

10. Coffees from the northern part of the
Indonesian island of Sumatra are
admired for their complex earth and
fruit notes that appear to result
largely from unorthodox fruit
removal and drying practices called
“wet hulling.”
This is a particularly refined example
of the type. Equator is a specialty
roaster based in the San Francisco
Bay Area driven by “passion for
quality and sustainability.”

Story
L I N K T R . E E / N A M O U R A C O F F E E

12. In the late 80’s, coffee farmers in Lintong
discovered a natural hybrid/mutation varietal
in the Onan Ganjang village. The farmers then
started planting this hybrid on their farms all
over the Lintong ni Huta region. The varietal
then made it as far as the Simalungun region.
Variety lineage: natural cross of S795 with
Bourbon* (*The original heredity of the
cultivar is not known. However, based on the
young sprout/leaf colour, it is a hybrid of
Bourbon or that is the dominant gene. Or it is
a mutation of S795 based on the more
dominant Bourbon gene, Kent varietal).

13. this is a tall growing plant and with
wide, dense foliage and very active
primary branches. The secondary
branch growth makes it look as if it
grows wild, causing the main
stem/trunk to be invisible from the
outside.
The young sprout/leaves are light
green and the leaves are rather
narrow and pointy with a wavy edge.
The plant starts flowering about 15-24
months after it has been transplanted
to the farm and flowers appear at the
beginning of rainy/wet season.
