Origin Grower Comes To Café Excellence
Ric and the Café Excellence Team – Jeff, Anthony, Amy and Irene
36 hours. That’s how long it took Ric Hariyanto to get to Café Excellence from the island of Sumatra. Ric is a Sirwijaya coffee grower and his family has a 3-acre garden in the village of Lintong. (The entire village is only 500 yards x 500 yards – WOW!) His coffee is grown 5,500 feet above sea level – that has to be the highest grown coffee on the island.
Sumatra is typically a dry- or semi-washed coffee, but Ric removes the beans from the cherries using a wet process.
We cupped this beauty today and brewed in both a French Press and our Chemex. As we say… it’s ALL GOOD! This Sumatra Lintong coffee has wonderful body and citrus sweet grapefruit notes. We bought Ric’s coffee twice so far and, oh yes, we’ll be doing it again! Definitely a must for true coffee lovers!
