General Description: The central Indonesian island of Bali has a largely volcanic terrain with several mountains peaking over 3,000 meters in elevation. The island’s volcanic landscape contributes to its excellent fertility, and its towering mountain ranges encourage the high rainfall that supports a highly productive agricultural sector. The Kintamani highlands sit atop a large volcanic plateau between 3,600 – 4,800 feet in altitude. Coffee tree varieties include a high percentage of Bourbon and Typica, along with essential shade trees such as Erythrina, Albizia, Tangerine and Orange. The use of pesticides is prohibited on Bali and all fertilizers are 100% organic, usually cow or pig manure produced on each individual farm. Learn more…

General Description: South of the Phillipines, west of Papua New Guinea, north of Australia, and east of Malaysia, Sulawesi is an ancient island formed over 100 million years ago. Because it was always separate from the Asian and Australian landmasses, the island enjoys a unique geological profile, which farmers believe results in a different flavor profile for their coffees. Sulawesi coffee is generally more smoky and spicy than its sister product from nearby Sumatra. Our beans are grown in the southwest of the island by a tribe called the Toraja, who use strictly organic methods to grow their crops. These communities produce a very small amount of coffee annually, so availability is limited. Enjoy the can you’ve secured!

General Description: Arabica coffee production in Sumatra began in the 18th century under Dutch colonial rule and was first introduced to the northern region of Aceh, around Lake Tawar. The Permata Gayo Cooperative was formed in 2006 by 50 coffee farmers spread throughout five villages in the Bandar sub-district of Aceh. Farmers were brought together by collective hardship. A decade-long civil war had only recently ended, and in 2004 a 9.2 magnitude earthquake just off the coast of Sumatra triggered a devastating tsunami, completely wiping out farms and villages. The purpose of the cooperative was to kick-start production again with a focus on organic farming, which would not only benefit the health and well-being of the surviving communities, but would also raise valuable premiums needed to rebuild and reinvest in the area.
