On our continuing quest to find and hunt down fantastic and rare coffees we have truly found several gems from Sumatra. Our newest member of our Sumatran coffee family of coffees will be called Sumatra Lintong Triple Pick Tiger. This coffee is grown south of Lake Toba in the village of Saran Padang. There are 120 small holder farmers averaging 1-2 acres per farm at an altitude of 1100-1200 meters. The coffee has creamy, syrupy body, with slight earth, chocolate and orange citrus overtones.
Giving Back
Vournas Coffee Trading will donate a portion of our profits from the sales of our Sumatra Lintong Triple Pick Tiger to the World Wildlife Fund. This donation will go to help the endangered Sumatran Tiger, in which there are only 500 to 600 remaining in the wild. The Vournas logo is of course an emblazoned Sumatran Tiger, as we have always admired this animal’s stealth and natural beauty.
Sumatra Microlots
We are also bringing in a few Sumatran coffee microlots which blew us away on the cupping table. Yes they are expensive, but once you taste them you will see why. See all the information below and make sure and book out before they are sold.
Sumatra Wahana Longberry
Our Sumatra Wahana “Longberry” variety is said to be named after its appearance—relatively long and thin in comparison with other arabica coffee varieties. It was thought to have originated in Ethiopia because its shape and cup profile is similar to the Ethiopia Longberry Harrar.
