Indonesia - Sumatra Lintong

Origin: Indonesia - Sumatra Lintong 

Region: Lintong 

The most important coffee producing regions in Indonesia are found on the Islands of Java, Sumatra, Sulawesi (the former Celebes) and Timor. The cultivation of coffee in Indonesia has a 300 years history; which is closely related to the Dutch colonial rule. The „Lintong“ and „Mandheling“ coffees originated from Sumatra which is located in the West end of the archipelago. This coffee differs substantially in the regional source and the colour. Lintong coffees are named after region Lintong were they are grown. This region is in the province North-Sumatra. Mandheling grows in the province „Aceh“, particularly in the Region of „Gayo“.

The processing is specific because it is neither a wet processing, nor a dry processing.The wet-hulled process, also known as Giling Basah, is a coffee processing method primarily used in Indonesia that removes the parchment layer before the beans are fully dried. This technique was developed to speed up drying in a humid climate by processing the coffee while it has a high moisture content. After drying the brittle pergamino hull will be removed and afterwards the coffee is screened and sorted by colour, size and weight. Apparently the Lintong coffee owes his exotic taste to this special process.
