Sidikalang

The name of a town and zone near Lintong and Lake Toba. It is also the name of a cultivar grown in Sumatra. It is a Typica from this area of North Sumatra, the Regency of Diari. Sidikalang is found less and less frequently in Sumatra and other parts of Indonesia. Much of the Typica was lost in the late 1880s, when Coffee Leaf Rust swept through Indonesia. However, both the Bergendal and Sidikalang varieties of Typica can still be found in Sumatra, Sulawesi, and Flores, especially at higher altitudes and in remote areas.
