Housing a total of 500 coffee farmers, the people from the Batak Tribe grow coffee plants on 4 km² of fertile land that produces a limited supply of 200-300 tonnes of coffee every year. The Lintong region grows some of the most prized Arabica beans. In contrast, the dry hulling method dries whole coffee cherries to 12% moisture straightaway before the mucilage is removed.Īek Nauli is a small village in the Humbang Hasudutan, located at the southern part of Lake Toba in North Sumatra. At this point, the moisture content of the bean ranges from 25-35%, where it is placed back in the sun for further drying before the moisture content reaches 12%. ![]() The wet-hulling method adopted in Sumatra removes the mucilage of the coffee beans just 24+ hours after the drying process has started for the de-pulped coffee cherries. The wet-hulling method brings out the spicy flavours, fuller body and lighter acidity compared to a dry hulling method. Reminiscent of berries, raisins and plums on the first gulp and balanced with hints of the earth and cedar at the end - we love how the butterscotch berry pudding notes are accentuated with milk and it can be enjoyed as an easy hot and cold brew in your french press. ![]() Tasting notes: Berry Jam, Raisins, Spice, Cedar, Earth Roast profile: Medium Dark Roast this crop
