DETAILS: Tradition runs deep in the Garut Regency on the island of
Java, now establishing a reputation for cup profiles derived from the
classic Indonesian style of coffee cultivation and processing. Coffee
is cultivated and harvested from farms that average less than 3
acres in size. Producers maintain a traditional village lifestyle and
coffee cultivation is managed under an agroforestry system that
integrates coffee with diverse native tree species, supporting both
ecological balance and long-term sustainability.
PROCESSING DETAILS: There is a growing trend in the specialty coffee
world to seek out the Robusta species, which is considered more
tolerant to the impacts of climate changes than the Arabica species.
Robusta’s flavor profiles, which have a negative reputation, might
improve significantly with some of the processing innovations
previously reserved for Arabica coffee. This lot is an example of
carefully harvested and sorted cherries delivered to a centralized mill
where the cherries are floated to remove less dense and damaged
beans. Next the cherries are placed on patios and gently dry to 11
percent moisture.
