Origin Story

RPI Coffee

Lintong is a specific growing region in North Sumatra, situated near the town of Lintong Nihuta in the hills next to southwestern Lake Toba, the largest volcanic lake in the world. Also used as a trade name, Lintong can describe coffees from a broader area as long as the coffee has a particular flavor profile, like those this coffee has. Our partners at RPI Coffee in Sumatra source this coffee from the town of Dolok Sanggul which is in the heart of the Lintong growing region. The coffees were selected from small garden farms in the area and combined to create this lot.

The coffee was processed using the island’s traditional wet-hull method, which is notably different from other commonly used processing practices. A thin papery layer called parchment surrounds all coffee seeds, and the process of removing this layer is called hulling. Most coffees are hulled after drying when their moisture level reaches 10-13%. Wet-hulled coffees are hulled with much higher moisture levels between 35-50% and finish drying after the removal of this protective layer.

Why We Love This Coffee

Like many processing methods, wet hulling was born out of necessity since Sumatra sees a great deal of rain during the harvest season. In order to speed up the drying process, the parchment layer is removed early to allow the coffee to dry quickly in the green bean form.

This is beneficial in Sumatra’s damp climate since longer drying times are impractical. Coffees from Sumatra are known for having earthy flavors and a heavy body that can be attributed in part to the wet hull process. This coffee is no exception, its assertive flavors of aromatic wood and lemongrass showcase the unique flavors that the best coffees from Sumatra can offer.
