A quintessential Sumatran coffee: aromas of brown sugar, cinnamon, and white pepper introduce notes of stewed plum and almond in the cup. The big, vibrant body carries crisp rhubarb acidity and currant-like sweetness. Cedar and white pepper provide a spiced finish.

Imported by Hacienda La Minita:

"The flow of coffee is very unique in Sumatra as compared to other origins and in the region where we produce this coffee, women are the backbone of the coffee business and make all of the quality and buying decisions. 'Boru' means the link to the maternal line of the family and we thought that we should pay homage to them with naming this coffee Boru Batak.

"This coffee comes from the growing region of Lintongnihuta in Northern Sumatra near the shores of Lake Toba. It is a completely sun-dried and triple-picked coffee and we are only able to produce about 200 bags total annually. It is exceptionally clean with a massive syrupy body, fresh acidity, and flavors of cedar, leather, and a distinct essence of butterscotch."
