New Crop! Indonesian Coffees are just getting into their prime time arrivals.
An incredibly special coffee from a special place. Bali is different, in a good way. It cannot get any more beautiful, with perfect weather creating the perfect growing conditions for almost any plant. Everything is so lush and green year round. Three volcanoes nestled in the middle of this fairly small island, are at a perfect altitude for coffee, a bit more acidic soil as well which coffee tends to love. Produced by people who live harmoniously with the land. An incredible sight to see and a real treat to drink. This is the wet-hulled version. Traditional Indonesian processing which leaves a thicker generally lower acidity more stout like cup of coffee.
Coming from family owned farms located in the Kintamani highlands on the island province of Bali, Indonesia. Coffee is grown in the volcanic soils of Mount Agung along with citrus trees that provide shade and another source of income. Coffee production is typically organized around a Subak Abian, which refers to the ecologically sustainable irrigation systems developed more than 1,000 years ago by Hindu priest who practice Tri Hita Karana (the three sources of prosperity), a philosophy focused on the harmonization between the environment, humans and God.
Tasting Notes:
A very rich, clean, and smooth cup. A cousin to Sumatra or Sulawesi coffee; Blue Moon always is a bit smoother without as much earthiness. A little hint of sweet acidity balanced with a nice chocolaty molasses undertone. Medium to full bodied with low acidity, a nice daily cup. Hints of slight smoky tones and soft fruit can be found, especially in a darker roast.
Roasting Notes:
I like to take this one to a full city. A strong medium roast. It is very versatile and will hold almost any roast except super light. Usually I drink this Bali a touch lighter than I take Sumatras, gets a cool citrus/floral sparkle that is rarely seen in Sumatra coffee.
