Nestled on the southern shores of Lake Toba in North Sumatra, the Lintong region is a highland plateau with elevations ranging from 1,000 to 1,400 meters above sea level. This unique microclimate—cool, misty, and mineral-rich—has made Lintong one of Indonesia’s most distinctive Arabica origins. The coffee farms here are cultivated by Batak communities who have passed down generations of knowledge in selective harvesting and meticulous processing.
Lintong Arabica is celebrated for its medium body and bright citrus notes, offering a cup that is lively, clean, and elegant. The flavor profile features hints of grapefruit, lime zest, and subtle florals, balanced by a smooth texture and crisp acidity. This makes it an ideal choice for the Middle-Up market segment, including specialty roasters, pour-over enthusiasts, and single-origin espresso developers.
Graded as Grade 1, Lintong Arabica meets stringent standards for bean uniformity, moisture content, and cup clarity. The beans are processed using the full-washed method, which enhances their brightness and preserves the delicate citrus character. Buyers may request alternative post-harvest methods—such as honey or natural—to explore different expressions of this origin.
Farmers in Lintong are known for their attention to detail, often practicing shade-grown cultivation and hand-picking only the ripest cherries. Many cooperatives in the region are now implementing traceability systems and quality control protocols to meet the demands of international buyers.
