Ethically Sourced Indonesian Coffee
Origin:
Bali Kintamani Organic Coffee is grown in the Kintamani Highlands, located on the island of Bali, Indonesia. The region’s volcanic soil, combined with high altitudes and a tropical climate, creates ideal growing conditions for producing unique, high-quality coffee. The coffee farms are traditionally intercropped with citrus trees, contributing to the beans’ complex flavor profile. This sustainable farming practice ensures a balanced ecosystem while supporting the livelihoods of local farmers. The region’s cool temperatures and abundant rainfall allow the coffee cherries to mature slowly, resulting in rich and nuanced flavors.
Processing Method:
The Bali Kintamani Organic Coffee is processed using the wet-hulled method, a traditional technique commonly used in Indonesia. The beans are first pulped, then partially dried before being hulled while still moist. After hulling, the beans are sun-dried to the desired moisture level, enhancing their body and sweetness.
Flavor Profile:
This coffee offers a vibrant and layered flavor profile. With an aroma reminiscent of fresh citrus and wildflowers, it brings a lively, full-bodied experience with balanced acidity. The first sip reveals notes of chocolate, caramel, and tropical fruits, particularly hints of orange and lemon. As it cools, the sweetness becomes more pronounced, with subtle earthy undertones. The smooth finish, combined with the medium body, makes this a versatile coffee suitable for a variety of brewing methods.
Brewing Recommendations:
Bali Kintamani Organic Coffee shines in both pour-over and French Press brewing methods. For a pour-over, use a medium grind and 1:15 coffee-to-water ratio for optimal extraction. In the French Press, use a coarse grind and steep for four minutes to fully capture its bright and fruity notes. This coffee’s balanced acidity and rich body also make it a great choice for manual drip or Chemex brewing.
Why Choose This Coffee?:
This coffee is not only delicious but also supports sustainable and ethical farming practices. As a Rainforest Alliance Certified coffee, it meets rigorous standards for protecting biodiversity, ensuring fair wages for farmers, and promoting environmental stewardship. The traditional intercropping method used in Bali ensures that the land remains fertile, while the wet-hulled process enhances the beans’ unique flavor. If you’re looking for a coffee that is both ethically sourced and full of bold, complex flavors, Bali Kintamani Organic Coffee is an excellent choice.
