ICC

Lintong Blue Batak

Roaster Location: Taipei City, Taiwan
Coffee Origin: Lintong growing region, North Sumatra Province, Indonesia
Roast Level: Medium-Light
Agtron: 56/75
Est. Price: NT $500/227 grams
Review Date: July 2016
Aroma: 9
Acidity : 8
Body: 9
Flavor: 9
Aftertaste: 8

Blind Assessment: Immensely spicy, rich. Ripe fig, fresh-cut fir, moist tobacco, cumin, a hint of orange blossom in aroma and cup. Bright, lightly tart acidity; plush, velvety mouthfeel. Flavor consolidates to tobacco and dried fig in a crisply drying finish.

Notes: This coffee tied for the second-highest rating in a cupping of Sumatra coffees for Coffee Review‘s July 2016 tasting report.

The Bottom Line : A deep-toned, complexly expressive Sumatra in which an unusual but inviting spice note emerges, suggesting cumin in its sweetly drying richness.
