Sumatra: Lake Toba, Lintong TP

From the volcanic highlands near Lake Toba in Lintong, this “TP” (Triple Picked) lot is hand-sorted three times for exceptional cleanliness and uniformity—an extra quality step prized in specialty Sumatras. Smallholders cultivate Sigararutang, Jember, and Andungsari at 1,300–1,600 masl, with cherries handpicked and processed using Indonesia’s signature wet-hulling (giling basah). At a dark roast, expect a cup anchored in dark chocolate and molasses, with toffee, roasted almond, and a gentle cedar-spice note. Acidity sits very low and smoothly integrated, the body is heavy and coating, and the finish is long, sweet, and tidy with cocoa-nut persistence—robust, comforting, and distinctly Lintong.
