About Linge

Grown by smallholders. Milled, graded and shipped by us.

Linge is a family-run mill and export house in Takengon, Central Aceh. We buy from the same farmer groups every harvest, so the lot you approve at the cupping table is the lot that lands at your port.

Traceable to the village

Every bag tag names the farmer group, altitude and process.

Export paperwork handled

Phytosanitary, ICO certificate of origin and fumigation are arranged in-house.

Three ways to buy Gayo from us

Grade 1 green beans

Wet-hulled and fully washed arabica, triple hand-picked, dried to 12 to 13% moisture and packed in 60 kg lined jute bags.

Single-group microlots

Natural, honey and anaerobic lots from one farmer group at 1,400 to 1,700 masl. Small volumes, cupped and scored before we offer them.

Private label roasting

Roasted to your profile in Takengon, packed under your brand and air-freighted within days of the roast date.

Why roasters reorder, harvest after harvest

Pre-shipment samples that match what arrives. That is the whole promise, and it is the reason most of our buyers are on their third contract or more.

★★★★★
The arrival sample cupped half a point above the offer sample. In nine years of buying Sumatran coffee, that had never happened to us.
