Indonesia Sumatra Lington Mandheling

Lin Dong Mantenin, as the name implies, takes Lintong Nihuta District (referred to as Lin Dong District for short) as the distribution center. Lin Dong is located in the south-west of Toba Lake District, with a high elevation, and there are even coffee plantations exceeding 1400 meters in the surrounding mountains. Lin Dong Manning meticulous licorice sweet, deep baked rich cocoa and spice caramel sweet!

The following picture shows the beautiful scenery of Lake Toba, as well as the exquisite wood carvings of bazaar architecture and traditional local art photographed in Lin Dong:

According to the variety information I heard from Japanese businessmen in the early days, most of the Toba Lake area belongs to Typica species, but the actual visit found that not only Typica's lack of care, low yield and gradually warming temperature, Sumatra has already planted a lot of Tim tim species, and even introduced other coffee species from Central America. For us, as long as it is not Catimor, as long as it has good quality, planting other varieties is acceptable.

07 years later. To put it simply, the number of Lin Dongman of good quality is decreasing day by day, and even if you are willing to pay a better price to purchase, the money often goes into the pockets of exporters and middlemen, and the proportion that really comes into the hands of farmers is very low. It is even more difficult to find Lin Dongman who is excellent in the whole batch. In Aceh Province, on the other hand, Gai Youshanmai area is much better. local cooperatives have become a climate, purchasing directly and maturing, while in Lin Dong area, there are still many farmers who simply peel coffee cherries at home and sell them to the middle market, or even to the market. The key to being able to purchase high-quality Lin Dongman is to go directly to a procurement office similar to a farmers' cooperative to check the quality of raw beans and establish a cooperative relationship, and at the same time, there should be very active work quality control, such as direct negotiation and cup quality control. for example, in this treatment plant, after purchasing farmers' semi-wet coffee cherries, the process of secondary grading and drying will be carried out, and the lovely children all come from nearby coffee farmers:

While visiting the processing plant in the forest winter area, we also visited the nearby coffee plantations. The following coffee trees have been planted for more than 10 years, and some coffee gardens also know that shade trees have been planted:

Due to the long-standing acquisition system in the Toba Lake area, coupled with the fact that farmers are used to handling coffee cherries on their own, this simple treatment similar to Pulped Natural, coupled with warm weather, often results in a thick harvest, forming a great variable of quality. farmers tend to sell more semi-wet berries, mixed with immature and overripe beans, which is often a major factor in Mantenin's unstable quality. how to screen excellent berries is a big challenge. In recent years, large farms or enterprise farms have been set up around Lake Toba for a reason.

This batch of 2016 Lin Dongman, from the small farmers' cooperative selected batch, the variety is still the local old Tim Tim species, herbal sweet and rich greasy feeling is still very attractive to the glutton! Gluttons who love caramel herbs sweet and high-altitude Sumatran beans should not be missed!
