Sumatra Coffee Tour
If you love nature, adventures, and coffee, there’s no better way to enjoy a holiday than going to a coffee region, Sumatra Coffee Tour will bring you to see the natural habitat of this magnificent plant for the first time.
The biggest obstacle to visiting a coffee farm for most people is that they are located in faraway countries. Arabica coffee needs certain environmental conditions to grow, so it mostly exists in mountain areas close to the Equator. The closer the coffee is to this line, the higher altitude it needs to thrive.
Luckily, there are many places here in Sumatra. Not only for coffee but also Sumatra is a lush Indonesian gem that is ideal for adventurers including rainforests and wildlife. For instance, we can go to Simalungun and see some stunning nature at Lake Toba and visit a coffee farm at the same time. How does it sound?
Sumatran coffee is legendary. Coffee production on the island of Sumatra is thought to have begun around 1884, near Lake Toba, which is the largest volcanic lake in the world. It’s one of the first places coffee was grown on a large scale. It’s a bean that packs a punch; it usually has body, depth, and a certain kind of ‘earthy’ flavor Many people love it.
An excellent option for people new to specialty coffee is to find a coffee farm tour. At the most famous coffee origins like here in Medan, Sumatra, we are the first coffee tour operator in Medan, Sumatra, and if not the only one with long experiences that exists.
Since coffee grows at high altitudes in very remote areas with crude, often slippery, long, and bumpy roads, it can be necessary to go with a guide. And it is recommended due to both language and transportation issues.
A guide will also be able to explain all the intricacies of coffee production to you. You’ve probably never seen a fermentation tank, and have no clue what a depulper looks like. Coffee processing can be more complicated than you’d think.
A coffee guide can also introduce you to the farmer, who most likely won’t be able to speak English. Our guide is a former International NGOs worker who understands the context and has extensive relationships with expatriates from western countries, so it will be fun to accompany your discussion along the way.
So if you want to have great experiences in one of the most interesting places in Sumatra, where the people are warm, and the cuisine is excellent. If you want to see a coffee farm in real life and have a wonderful vacation near Lake Toba, here’s the tour for you. Give us a beep.
