Region and Farm Introduction: Lintong is a well-established coffee-growing region in North Sumatra, Indonesia, situated near the highlands surrounding Lake Toba. Its volcanic soils, tropical climate, and mountainous terrain provide favourable conditions for Arabica cultivation. Coffees from this region are often recognised for their rounded body, distinctive sweetness, and layered flavour complexity.
This Raja Harimau Mandheling presents a comforting and aromatic profile, combining the gentle sweetness of dried sea coconut with the rich, mellow character of red dates and dried longan. Together, these notes create a smooth, naturally sweet, and lingering cup.
Processing Method Features: Wet Hulled, locally known as Giling Basah, is a traditional Indonesian processing method. After the coffee cherries are depulped and undergo initial fermentation or mucilage removal, the beans are partially dried before their parchment layers are removed while moisture content remains relatively high. The exposed beans are then dried further to reach a suitable storage moisture level.
This distinctive process is associated with the rounded body and characteristic depth of Sumatran coffees. In this lot, the mellow sweetness of dried sea coconut, red dates, and dried longan creates a comforting, smooth, and richly layered flavour experience.
