Sumatra Blue Lintong

Lintong is a small premier region in the Mandheling growing area located on the south side of Lake Toba; Blue Lintong is the highest grade washed coffee from this region,

Along with typical syrup-y body that Sumatrans are known for, there are distinct hints of cherry in the cup when roasted light (city to city+). Roasted darker and forest-floor notes become more pronounced, especially as the cup cools.

Our recommendation is to resist the urge to over-roast these beans. Most good quality Sumatrans roast darker than they appear to be. 15-30 seconds or so into 2nd crack is more than enough, unless one really prefers a darker roast. Unevenness in finished roast color is normal.
