Each of the small farmers produces coffee on less than a hectare of land. The coffee is grown without shade, but also without chemicals of any kind, and almost entirely by smallholders. Small plots of coffee are scattered over a high, undulating plateau of fern-covered clay. Lintong accurately describes only coffees grown in a relatively small region just southwest of Lake Toba in the district of Lintong Nihuta. The land in this region rises to a high plateau, providing the altitude necessary for Arabica cultivation. Lintong Nihuta lies southwest of Lake Toba, one of the worldâ?s most buried inland bodies of water. In North Sumatra, a road snakes around the lush forest, beautiful waterfalls and striking volcanoes to arrive in a land that grows a strong coffee with enchanting flavor.
