What makes Indonesian coffee unique

Indonesia is one of the world’s largest coffee producers, having been producing coffee since the 17th century. The archipelago of thousands of islands and a tropical climate offers an exceptional variety of terroirs. From the highlands of Sumatra to the volcanic slopes of Java and the pristine nature of Sulawesi, Indonesian coffee beans are rich, intense and distinctive in flavour.

What makes Indonesian coffee truly unique is the processing method. The traditionalGiling Basahor “wet hulling” technique provides low acidity, full body and pronounced earthy, spicy and sometimes smoky flavours. Perfect for those who love characterful espressos and dark filter coffees.

Indonesian Coffee Flavor Profiles

Indonesian coffees are known for their robust, deep flavors. In our collection you will find the following flavor profiles:

Earthy and spicy – ​​with notes of clove, tobacco and laurel

Chocolate and cocoa – rich, creamy and slightly bitter

Woody and smoky – deep and intense, perfect for espresso

Subtle sweetness – balanced by notes of dark fruit or dried figs

Although Indonesian coffee is often associated with espresso or moka pot, many of our coffees are also surprisingly good as a filter — especially when sourced from specialty microlots with careful processing.
