{"product_id":"sumatra-lake-toba-samosir-honey","title":"Sumatra Lake Toba Samosir Honey","description":"\u003cp\u003eRarely does a single cup carry so much geography, history, and craft. Lake Toba Samosir Honey is everything we love about exceptional coffee: unexpected origins, meticulous processing, and a flavor profile that stops you mid-sip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThis lot is sourced from three family estates united by a shared commitment to quality and a shared home near the shores of Lake Toba in the province of North Sumatra: Sidalogan, Sibisa, and Motung Estates. All three are organized around the Sipangan Bolon mill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe landscape here is unlike anywhere else on earth. Lake Toba — the largest volcanic lake in the world — occupies the caldera of a supervolcano, whose eruptions over millennia have blessed the surrounding soil with extraordinary mineral richness. Coffee grown here carries that terroir in every bean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLake Toba is the site of the largest known explosive volcanic eruption on Earth in the last 25 million years! The same supervolcanic forces that shaped this ancient landscape are responsible for the region's exceptionally fertile soils — and ultimately, the remarkable character in your cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this lot truly special is how it was prepared. Honey processing — also called pulped-natural — was pioneered in El Salvador and Costa Rica, and remains a rarity in Indonesia, where wet-hulling (Giling Basah) dominates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the honey process, the cherry skin is removed while the parchment is dried, still coated in its natural mucilage — the sticky, sugary layer between the fruit and the seed. This careful, labor-intensive method produces coffees of unusual sweetness, complexity, and fruit-forward brightness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a cup that feels almost tropical: vivid strawberry and pomegranate brightness over a foundation of bittersweet chocolate and floral honey, with a tart grapefruit note that lifts the finish beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOrigin\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg style=\"vertical-align: middle;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1095\/7444\/files\/Grower.svg?v=1675748280\" alt=\"Grower\" width=\"30\"\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eGrower:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cimg\u003e\u003cimg\u003eThree small coffee estates (\u003cspan\u003eSidalogan, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSibisa, and Motung)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg style=\"vertical-align: middle;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1095\/7444\/files\/Farm.svg?v=1675748279\" alt=\"Farm\" width=\"30\"\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eFarm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Three small farms\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg style=\"vertical-align: middle;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1095\/7444\/files\/Region.svg?v=1675748280\" alt=\"Region\" width=\"30\"\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eAjibata District, Toba Samosir Regency, Northern Sumatra\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProvince, Sumatra, Indonesia\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg style=\"vertical-align: middle;\" width=\"30\" alt=\"Cultivar\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1095\/7444\/files\/Cultivar.svg?v=1675748280\"\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eCultivar:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cimg\u003e\u003cimg\u003e\u003cimg\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCaturra, S-795 (Jember)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg style=\"vertical-align: middle;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1095\/7444\/files\/Altitude.svg?v=1675785680\" alt=\"Altitude\" width=\"30\"\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1350 meters\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg style=\"vertical-align: middle;\" width=\"30\" alt=\"Processing Method\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1095\/7444\/files\/Processing_Method.svg?v=1675748279\"\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eProcessing Method:\u003c\/strong\u003e Honey process, Wet hulled and dried in the sun\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProfile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg style=\"vertical-align: middle;\" width=\"30\" alt=\"Roast Level\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1095\/7444\/files\/Roast_Level.svg?v=1675748279\"\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eRoast Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Medium Roast  \u003cimg style=\"vertical-align: middle;\" height=\"12\" alt=\"Medium Roast\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ticoroasters.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/Roast_Level_Indicator_List_-_3.png\" data-original=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1095\/7444\/files\/Roast_Level_Indicator_List_-_3.png?v=1597072803\" data-files=\"Roast_Level_Indicator_List_-_3.png\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg style=\"vertical-align: middle;\" width=\"30\" alt=\"Cup\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1095\/7444\/files\/Cup.svg?v=1675748279\"\u003e  \u003cstrong\u003eCup profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e Strawberry, Pomegranate, Honey\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Cup:\u003c\/strong\u003e Strawberry jam and pomegranate on the nose, evolving into grapefruit zest and dark chocolate mid-palate, with a long honey-sweet finish.
