Bali Kintamani Highlands Coffee - Indonesia

The coffee capital of Indonesia is known as the Kintamani highlands, and it’s located on Mount Agung’s giant volcanic plateau, nearly 1,700 meters above sea level. This wet-hulled bean is grown in mineral-rich soil among citrus trees––Erythrina, Albizia, tangerine, and orange––which provide an adequate amount of shade to keep the coffee plants healthy. Laws prohibit pesticide usage in Bali, so all fertilizers are 100% organic. 

Coffee production in Bali is currently overseen by the Subak Abian, a traditional farming cooperative that manages agriculture, technology, and even religious practices. Due to the SA’s influence, coffee-growing stages have drastically improved, and Bali’s economy has a fantastic standing.

Cupping notes: Lots of body and high acidity with notes of strawberry, watermelon, papaya and cane sugar giving it a very sweet taste.
