Lintong is southwest of Lake Toba, high on a plateau with a notable diversity of tree ferns. This richly volcanic region is known for fertile soils, myriad microclimates created by small valleys, and much sought-after Blue Batak coffee. Around 70,000 years ago, a massive supervolcano erupted in Lintong. The eruption was the biggest on earth in the last 25 million years, and left many lakes and incredibly fertile soil in its wake. In fact, the soil is so rich that the Bataknese say you can put a chair in the ground, and it will become a table. The majority of farms are small in size, and self-sufficiency is a key value here. The Bataknese sometimes cultivate more than 10 different crops at their small estates, making these backyard farms an interesting sight.

We work with carefully selected producers that pay their workers a living wage in their respective countries. Our sourcing partners ensure full transparency, grower education and oversight, and ship coffee Grainpro-packed at origin to guarantee freshness. We believe in honoring the labor growers put into their product, and try our hardest to keep origin flavors and health benefits of coffee intact when we roast.
Is our coffee organic? Glad you asked. We label a coffee as organic when certifications are provided per USDA rules, but all our coffee is grown sustainably with attention to environmental impact. Certifications cost money — sometimes in the thousands of dollars — and the producer has to bear the cost. We'd rather they spend the money to benefit workers and improve cultivation practices than pay for a piece of paper. 
Every cup of coffee you drink changes lives a little at a time. Please ask where your coffee is grown — the answers may surprise you.
