New Coffee! Sumatra Lintong
JavaGenesis Coffee Roasting has a new coffee listed on the market this week! It is a delicious dark roast Sumatra Lintong. You may also notice that the Java Ciwidey isn't listed on the market. Coffee is an agricultural crop and JavaGenesis buys their coffee when the new harvest is available each year. When the crop is sold out at the importer it's gone until the next harvest. Just as happens with all agricultural crops, the next harvest may not be as plentiful, as good or may not be available at all. That means JavaGenesis must search for an awesome replacement for your favorite coffee. This season they found the Sumatra Lintong that has the same flavor notes as the Java Ciwidey but is even better than the Java. Give it a try this week!
Here's more about the Sumatra Lintong and why we chose it...
The Sumatra Lintong is grown on a large estate in the village of Lake Mungkur in Northern Sumatra. The estate is 480 hectares, was established in 2006 and is 4500ft above sea level. The estate employs over 1,000 workers and practices organic and sustainable farming techniques in the hope of eventually becoming Organic and/or Rainforest Alliance certified. The estate has also implemented its own corporate social responsibility program, which so far has completed building a clinic for the farm's workers and started a "Farmer's Support Center" that will share information about farm management along with distributing organic fertilizers, seedlings and shade trees free of charge.
