05.01.2008 : Coffee of the Month for May - Panache Sumatra Blue Lintong

Panache Sumatra Blue Lintong Sumatra Blue Lintong is a distinctive and memorable coffee, offering a smooth, rich flavor delivered in a full-bodied, low acid cup.

  • The coffee is processed differently –
    Rather than having the coffee fruit and seeds separated in modern mills, the indigenous growers of Lintongnihuta still process and dry the coffee in the traditional hand-processed manner, resulting in extra body and flavor in the cup.
  • The coffee is named for its distinctive blue-green color before roasting
  • Grown at over 4,000 feet above sea level near the small town of Lintongnihuta – at the southern shores of beautiful Lake Toba in north-central Sumatra
  • Ranging north to south, Sumatra is only about 100 miles wide but elevations range from sea-level to more than 12,000 feet high
  • Sumatran topography creates a microclimate that is perfect for growing fine Arabica coffees
