Sumatra Wahana Estate (Sidikalang) Coffee

TIP: You can save products to your favorites list if you log in The super-rich, volcanic loam soil of the northern sector of Sumatra has long been the most-prized source region for coffee cultivation. Wahana Estate, near the town of Sidikalang (along the shores of Lake Toba)is a large, privately-held estate/plantation comprising over 250 hectares of cherry production and 100 hectares of protected natural forest. The estate also has a mill facility, composting factory, free health clinic and farmers' support center, which offers shade trees, organic fertilizer, coffee seeds, and farm management training for small producers in the region. Production is principally of the Bourbon, Typica and Catimor varietals grown at an average of 1250 meters above sea level, wet-hulled and sun-dried. Sweeter than most coffees we've tried from this region, less herbaceous than most and displaying a happy marriage of low-acidity and spicy, floral top notes.
