This is a big, bold and fruity whole fruit dried processing. This classic style of natural processing respects a lovely flavor balance between aromas and taste imparted by the processing method and the selected arabica cultivars.

Back in the day, this coffee may have even been controversial for the flavor stamp given by the natural process. We find a lovely harmony between sweet and fruity notes such as berry and orange peel and the dark chocolate and dried fruit depth from the terroir.

Great as a full and satisfying espresso, also great with milk, or a slightly caramelised filter coffee. Bold and intense.

Ijen, East Java Farm is located in Bondowoso, Sukasari Village, Indonesia. The farm covers 68ha and ranges in elevation from 1200 to 1750 masl. The farm is owned and operated by Pak Andi, a farmer who has been cultivating coffee since his childhood. The farm is home to several cultivars, including Komasti, Andungsari, Bourbon, Kartika, and Abysinia. The harvest season runs from April to September, and the coffee is grown using organic fertilizers and shade trees.Pak Andi learned about coffee cultivation and processing from his parents. In the past, most of the coffee fields in the region were planted with Robusta coffee. However, Arabica coffee has become more popular over the years, and in 2000, Pak Andi decided to learn about Arabica coffee cultivation. By 2008, he was already producing commercial Arabica and learning about specialty coffee.Since then, Pak Andi and other farmers in the region have received training on proper cultivation procedures and the correct picking of coffee cherries to generate high profits and good quality. The farmers choose only red cherries and do not use pesticides. The farm uses organic fertilizers, and the maintenance of the coffee trees involves manual pruning and weed removal. The shade trees used also vary but include forest plants.The unsorted green beans are sent to Belift Dry Mill Surabaya for sorting using a machine. The taste and physical quality of the green beans is checked before export.
